Ok this is going to sound really retarded, but this seriously happened to me and it's very embarassing. I fell down half a flight of metal/concrete stairs yersterday at the college, then I had to go to work for four hours, and then (sigh, I KNOW) I went and worked out with my friend. Well, I have like a big bruise and a huge scratch and who knows what else on my right leg from falling down the stairs. I didn't work out my legs too hard...but now I am thinking, what if I cracked my shin bone or something? it is sore and it was really killing me last night. I'm still limping around some, and I am just wondering if anyone has had a shin-area injury before and what they did/didn't do, etc. Anyways, comments please (minus any about how STUPID that was of me, I already know!) Thanks.

Well i haven't had any injuries exactly in that place. But go and see a doctor as fast as possible. My firend had done almost the same thing as you and he didn't go and check with doctor so it cost him a year to recover!!!!!!!
