Does any1 know what kind of leg injury this is?


i got hit hard in to the inside part of my shin a few months ago. now if i go over it it feels like gelatin like? when i tap my fingers, i can feel musle or bone moving. its as if water or something is in it. there are no noticeable bumps and no pain, but there seems to be something wrong with internally.

you might have fluid in your knee.

Water on the knee is a generic term used by people to describe knee swelling. When excess fluid accumulates either in or around the knee joint, this is called water on the knee.

The cause of water on the knee is usually arthritis. When patients have knee arthritis, fluid accumulation within the joint is a common finding. Patients often find relief when the fluid is removed from the joint, but the fluid can often reaccumulate.

hope this helps. See your doctor. ASAp

GO TO THE DR, AND HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT.

Bones break and muscles sprain. Just because your shin got hit hard doen't make its insides crushed or something. The gelatin like feeling is probably the way your muscles feel. How you feel when you touch your other shin or arm?
Anyway, it's probably better if you consult a doctor.

When you get hit, and you bleed into the tissues that lines the bone, the blood will either show up in the subcutaneous tissue, as a bruise, or collect as a hematoma. If it feels all swollen and squishy, it is a hematoma. This is not the type of clot that is harmful. It does not need to be drained. Why cut thru healthy tissue, with risk of infection, to drain something that your body will heal with time alone? It may take 2-3 months to go away, so be patient. You do not need to rush off to the doctor for this, why waste the cost of an Xray, Exam fee and maybe a specialty consultation for something so simple and that does not need any treatment other than time?
