guitarguy Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 About 2 years ago I injured my shin during sparring. My shin collided very hard with my opponents knee and i immediately fell to the ground. I couldn't even walk on it for a while and it swelled up very badly. Anyways, i havent trained martial arts since except for BJJ. I want to get back to martial arts but every time I run or even knock it its painful for days. I'm getting it checked out shortly but I was just wondering what it may be.And yes I do realise how silly it was to leave it, but im getting it checked now that i want to train seriously again. Just curious as to what it may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarguy Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 The pain is a tendernish around the shin and varies in position. It is mainly painful when touched. when its real bad it hurts when doing high impact exercises such as running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wastelander Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I would highly recommend that you see a doctor--after 2 years there should not be any lingering effects from your shin colliding with a knee. If I had to guess (and I am not a medical professional) you probably caused a stress fracture and it has either never healed, or has healed incorrectly due to never being treated.

guitarguy Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 Thanks and ye I'm seeing a doctor this week as I am very serious about getting back to training hard for a number of reasons, for a number of reasons. Stupid to let an injury go for so long. Hopefully it wont take too long to heal with correct treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuma Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Sounds like compartment syndrome. I am just getting over a case myself. You'll need physical therapy. Next time go to the doc earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harkon72 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I don't want to scare you but it could turn ulcerous, get it checked out, you could lose your leg. Look to the far mountain and see all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
