bruise or fracture!?

[MTMark]

Hi all
just registered as it looks a cools site!
Quick question!
i am sure u have all experienced this so hoping for soemf eed back..

had some MT training last week.. Now on my right leg on the shin is bruised but more to the right of it on the muscle on the out side of the right leg is okay till i tap it in a certain spot hard and fast and aches and hurts .. now if i do that tapping up and down the shin it doesnt hurt apart from that spot and it also doesnt hurt on that spot if i tense the muscle and tap!..

have i bruised the bone there or a deep muscle or even a slight stress fracture!?
been jumping and stamping my leg (sounds daft ) but to see if i experienced any pain..

cheer
Mark

You have bruised your shin, welcome to MT. This will happen a lot unless you become a wuss and use shin pads, other than that just ignore it.

bruised. if it were broken it would hurt a lot more

cool...
thought i might have a stress fracture if not broken..
never had this pain before on the shins so thought the worst ..
might have to be carefull on wednesday at the class...

i thought if i had stress fractured it i would be in reall bad agony and even unable to walk much..

cheers Guys!
