I got ran into skiing now have apparently a "Squashed nerve" In my shin. Basically it's swollen and bruised iwth a damage nerve so it's completely numb.
It's been two weeks now and it's still numb, at the moment it's getting really itchy underneath the numb part and is sending shooting pains up my leg. Has anyone had this before? How did you manage it? Is there anything you can do to help it? Thanks.

could the fact that you are feeling pains now mean that it is healing?

i took a booter to flat 3 weeks ago and shinbanged so hard i thought i snapped my shin right above my bootline.  still get shooting pains if i put pressure on it to turn and if i lean back while riding.  only thing you can do is rest it really, but giving up riding for a while is nearly impossible.

Yeha I'm like the same. My leg is all swollen and bruised still like 3 times bigger than it should be looked like i'd broken my leg when I first did it it was so deformed. So disgusting I had to stop skiing because apparently it'll cause permanent never damage because it's numb.  I'm soo not uploading a picture so get onto that haha.
Yeah it was a hard enough bump that it double ejected my skis with 14 dins and sent me flying into a V-net (I was racing ski cross and i'm not fat haha)

The front part of my left shin has been numb for almost a year now. I was hitting a 40 foot step up and some snowbaurders was checking his txts on the landing. After a while you stop noticeing it. The shooting pains will dull over time. Best of luck.
