I clashed shins at football 2 days ago + have a swollen bruise on my shin. centre is 5cm diameter + red + white, with purple around it. is it ok?

Bruise: What you are describing sounds like a typical bruise to me however if the pain continues, it is a good idea to see a doctor and get an X Ray done to rule out an underlying bony injury.

Bruising of Shin: It is ok This settles in few days The fact that you are still able to weight bear is reassuring sign of nothing of concern causing the problem Hope you get well soon

Shin: If you are able to bear weight and able to walk without any deformity, it may be just a bruise. If pain is bad then get it crates to make sure there is no hairline fracture of tibia. If redness is worse and u get fevers -- consider infection and see your doctor.
