A member asked:
My tibia connected with an elbow when i did a kick, now ankle is swollen just below ankle joint & tibia hurts when walk or bare weight. is it broken?

Leg pain: Possibly, or could just be a contusion. A fracture and a contusion have similar symptoms, but really the best way to distinguish the two is with a full examination with imaging studies (x-rays). I hope this helps.

Possibly: I would recommend an x-ray of the area by either a podiatrist or orthopedic foot specialist. The injured area should be treated according to the findings. If not broken and treatment does not resolve the pain and swelling then i would recommend an MRI study.
