Hi,
About a month ago playing football I was caught very late and with a lot of force in a tackle. I was hit about half way up my shin. It was more on the outside of my leg, not hitting the bone so much. I went to get it looked out however they just said it wasn't broken and to rest it. I cant even work out what part of the leg the problem is. Its too high to be my ankle, the pain seems to go around the who leg when I put pressure on it. Would just like to know the likely problem. What are the common injuries from thing like tackles other than bone injuries. Sorry for the poor explanation but I'm really struggling to know how to recover from it when I dont know what the problem is.
Thanks

While it is difficult to say for sure what might be wrong, there are several things that are common when hit/tackled in the lower leg. With a direct hit, a contusion, or bruises, to either the muscle or the bone can develop. It is also possible that a muscle was pulled or strained. Either would cause pain, possibly swelling, and could feel like it is tight or painful around the whole leg. It sounds like you have already been evaluated, but I would encourage you to consider having a follow up visit with your doctor or seeking another opinion from a different physician if you are continuing to have pain with standing this far out from injury. If you do not like the answer you have been given thus far, you should absolutely ask more questions. Consider seeing a physician who specializes in sports medicine, as sometimes physicians who are not familiar with these type of injuries can have a different approach to treating that may mean it takes longer to get back to sport. You may require treatment in addition to rest, such as physical therapy, to help strengthen muscles and reduce pain.
There are several resources to find a sports medicine trained physician in your area, such as amssm.org, sportsmed.org, or aoasm.org. Also, if you post what area you are in, ASMI may be able to point you in the direction of a physician in your area as well.
Good luck!

Chiropractic treatments will help you to get rid of musculoskeletal and nervous system disorders. It will help to restore the mobility of your leg. I had chronic ankle pain due to some muscular imbalance and my family doctor prescribed for a chiropractic treatment. Hence, I sought the help of Oakville chiropractic centre, a chiropractic clinic in Oakville for an immediate result. They had tried ART treatment combined with stretching and strengthening exercises which really worked on me. ART treatments is an effective technique to treat common foot and ankle problems. You can also try it. |

It is the best way to treat your pain. Physiotherapy today, both used by conventional and alternative practitioners recommend physical therapy to relieve pain, improve muscle strength and mobility, and restore basic body functions such as standing, walking, and grasping in those who are recovering from surgery or accidents, or who are suffering from debilitating ailments. (such as arthritis or stroke.) It is also used to treat those who are physically handicapped. Often physical therapy may be combined with occupational therapy. |
