A member asked:
How long should you rest after a blow to the shin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
While it hurts!: Let pain be your guide. If it hurts to do something, don't do it. Pain means you add to the damage done and delay healing, too. If pain is severe or not starting to ease up over the next week or so, get seen.
