A member asked:
I was playing soccer and someone kicked my shin very very hard. there is a dent in the cartilage in my shin. will it go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swollen periosteum: The tibia or shin bone like all long bones has a tough periosteal layer surrounding the bone ("hot dog casing"). When traumatized, this very vascular tissue evokes an injury response with local bleeding/bruising and swelling around the immediate area of blunt trauma. This fluid accumulation causes an increased pressure that leads to pain. Ice, rest, compression will all help. Cartilage is in joint
