A member asked:
I was kicked in the shin a week ago. pain is still the same as well as swelling is the same. not discolored but can't put weight on toes. could be bad?

Shin : Depends on force of kick. You might just have a bone bruise vs soft tissue contusion. If the force was strong there is a possibility of a fracture. See an ortho doc, urgent care or ER for an xray.
