so, i was playing football and was kneed in my shin and there is no sign of bruising or any swelling at all. any time i put any pressure on my shin it hurts a lot. i like to sit on that leg while on the computer, just putting that leg beneath the other on the chair, but due to the pain, i cant. any ideas what it may be? it hurts... :(

You just bruised your muscles. I suggest that you put some pain relieving gel and see. tying a crape bandage for some days may help. If the pain persists better see a doctor. happy 2007!

You may have cracked one of the bones. They don't necessarily always swell and bruise when they crack. Give it a few days and see if it lessens. And be careful with it. Plus you can still have bruised it without rupturing any blood vessels. They might show up later too.
