Replying to Shin pain from urban crash - Help
Hey guys so I overshot an urban fence gap by about 20 feet the other day and crash landed on the tails of my skis/ass. My shin hurt really bad from the pressure to my calf I believe, and it took my several tries to get into my bindings because I couldn't push down hard enough. A few days later, I tried to ski up at my local mountain but only took a 3 runs because my shin hurt bad enough that I couldn't put any forward pressure in my boots. It doesn't hurt when I walk, so I assumed it couldn't be that bad.
I've been icing it and elevating it, but there's no visible swelling or bruising. I'm worried when I try to ski this weekend that it will hurt badly again. Have any of you every dealt with this issue? How'd you heal up as fast as possible?
