Okay to start off i am 14
I hit my shin (very bottom almost my ankle)6 weeks ago and there is still a bruise there. It is not as bad as it was but it is still there. it doesnt look like its getting better either. the bruise still has a redish purple color to it. It also has a bumb under it and is sore. There was no cut on it just a bruise and its getting really anoying because i cant run or play on the track team at school because it hurts to much. Why would it still be here and what can i do to make it go away!

Yes, please go to your doctor! You may have cracked a bone, you may have something going on in your blood(anemia), you could have torn a ligament..etc. After this much time you definitely need it looked at.
Take care!

I agree that seeing a doctor is your best option. Several things could be going on: Some mild or even not really a problem at all, and some that could be a huge problem, either now or later in your life.
Good luck!

I'd haved it checked at your Doctor's. It's probably just very deep, but it's good to see what's goin' on.
