A member asked:
I had a metal shelf fall on my shin in december and it's still bruised and super itchy, what could be the problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bone contusion: By the way you describe the injury, you could have sustained a bone contusion, which characteristically can take awhile to get better. Don't hesitate to be seen and examined. An MRI can potentially help to confirm the diagnosis. There are other possibilities as well.
