It could be a bruise you know.

Don't take any chances. It's really hard to tell whether or not you have actually made a hairline fracture in your shin or not. Go to the hospital and have them take an X-ray. That way, if it is fractured, you can take immediate action.

Until then, the best way to treat any thing is following RICE.

Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

You hit your leg.....with a stick? ha....hahah....hhahhahahaa

Lol Skater.

No really, aren't purple bumps like bruises?

Poke it with a stick. This method usually works. Infact the only reason it works is because its kinda funny and that helps.

Did you hit your shin on a stick, or hit your shin with a stick? Because one way, I'd be confused as to how it happened, and the other, I would laugh at your idiocy. But seriously, ice it, it's probably nothing more than a swelling bruise.

You have to laugh at that he might of broke his leg on a stick or at least a bruise. XD

RICE! Honestly I get odd looks when i tell ppl that...

Just lay down and rest on the couch or someplace like that. Make sure you don't put a lot of preasure on your leg until you get the x-ray.

I fell on my shins when I was in second grade, straight onto a steel bar. With all of my body weight.

I'm fairly certain I cracked my shin, but I won't ever know.

Anyways, as for your problem, make sure you get an X-ray. If you don't and it is fractured, you're going to be tender there for the rest of your life.

Yes I know its a bruise but I don't know if I broke my leg.

You can't walk on a broken shin.
So, if you've really broken it, you should know by now...
