Wouldn't a "crack" still be considered a break though?
I know a bone "bruise" can hurt like you wouldn't believe... I had a pretty bad one at the distal end of my femur when I tore my ACL and ripped up much of the rest of my knee... it was not good (and this is the same leg, lucky me.. and my other knee is still not 100% from my kneecap injury in April.. grr)
Anyways though, it was 30 minutes before urgent care closed when this happened... by the time I really thought about maybe getting it checked it was too late to make it there before they closed... but they open up again at 8am. It's not bad enough to go to the ER (well since I'm not sure if I really DO need xrays, anyways.. if it was obviously broken I wouldn't hesitate). It's extremely painful around where I hit it though.. along the medial side of my tibia (several inches from the gash). It's not extremely swollen though (yet?).
Bah, stupid body. I've had an interesting, and not so great day today.. this is just one more thing to add to the list![]()
