A member asked:
I hit my shin pretty hard, and now i have this sharp burning pain, its swollen and numb to the touch, i can't put any weight on it, what's wrong?

Possible fracture: Could be just a bad bruise, but the fact that you can't put weight on it may mean there is a fracture in your shin bone. Best to have it checked by a physician.
