I think I fractured, or at least chipped my tibia last week. Was helping a neighbor do some work and slipped on his wet step...I went crashing to the ground and went "shin first" into the edge of the top step. Hurt like fuck and took a pretty good gouge out of my skin. I can walk fine, but the area still hurts like shit and now my ankle is bruised to fuck and my calf is somewhat swollen.  ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | ||

I would get an Xray. It is possible to walk on a broken bone. You have some bruising and swelling that merits further evaluation. | |||
|
| Just for the hell of it  |
That looks like it merits a trip to a Doc. Around here I would find one of the walk in type doctor places that has an onsite x-ray. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn.

Yeah, the bruising just started yesterday (5 days later). I'm done gutting it out, going to go to Urgent Care in the morning. Other than the pain around the wound itself, I can function fine. Wife is concerned about infection though, so figure I had better not take any chances. ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Good idea to get it looked at. Sorry you got hurt, hope you get it figured out and get better quickly. | |||

If nothing else you might get some Oxy out of a visit to the doc.  I am not BIPOLAR. I don't even like bears. | |||

Good call! I rarely use pain pills, but love me some Oxy and Bourbon! I'm kidding...maybe...  ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

I know you are smart enough not to mix pain pills and alcohol, but if not, put in your will to get your cigars ------------------------------ Smart is not something you are but something you get. Chi Chi, get the yayo | |||

HA Gator is right, that's a bad call. Scotch, not bourbon, is the way to go. I am not BIPOLAR. I don't even like bears. | |||

My xrays eyes across the internet say a lot of soft tissue injury but no fracture.  Btw, you have elephant leg, sir.  Q | |||

Ouch. Tib-fib injuries are painful and more complicated the closer you get to the ankle. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

Damn dude! Good pain pills used as prescribed are a very wonderful thing! I'd say walk it off but apparently that isn't helping. Did you rub some dirt on it?
