Upper leg pain and ankle pain/swelling following a softball the shin.?
Answer:
I would get an x ray to double check.
It sounds like it has been hurting long enough that you should visit a doctor. Better safe than sorry. I pulled a muscle pretty severely and never saw a doctor about it, and it didn't really heal right...
Well I'm going to medical school AND I currently work at a physical therapy office. Even though the swelling might have gone down in that general area after you iced it, you could have bruised the bone and muscle tissues, you might want to do a hot compress for the pain and follow it with a cold for the swelling. If you've been limping around or anything like that could be the reason that your tendon is becoming sore, you are using more of that area then what you're used to. I would seek medical attention after another 4 or 5 days. The body is naturally very good at healing itself, sometimes it just needs some time.
