Swollen shin
13/06/2017: Suffered at blow to my shin while playing football, swole up at a lot immediately. I iced it regularly and applied a balm every day before going to bed. The swelling is down, but there's a slight bump even today. It is still painful while walking, but bearable. Basically it hasn't completely healed even after 10 days.

It may take up to 4 weeks to reduce with proper treatment. Some times in some cases the blood clot may not resolve and so some action to drain clot may be needed to prevent infection. Once a day balm application alone may not help much. So please consider visiting orthopaedic specialist.
