Knee sprain, slight ligament tear, shin pain. what should i do to treat this pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee and shin pain: If they are mild, then short period of rest, ice, wrap/brace should be fine. If more significant, may need more time, pt, imaging. Check with orthopedic surgeon for good ligamentous exam to check your knee stability and for possible stress fracture of the tibia.
