Pain in right Tibia
I think I might have a hairline fracture on my right tibia. I was kinda running up carpeted stairs and fell and hit/ landed on my right leg. Normally for something like this i would just expect some pain and maybe a bruise but the pain is a 7 on an 1-10 pain scale and keeps getting worse to the point where I have a slight limp and its swollen.

Get an Xray and get it cleared by an Orthpaedic doctor. If fracture is there you will need a cast otherwise Physiotherapy will help reduce pain and improve strength and flexibility.
