i got a laceration cut (but its not really a cut its more a hole) from a stick being thrown at me.
the hole is 4mm wide max.
it is low on my tibialis anterior or maybe its called peroneus longus (its on the side of the lower half of between my ankle and knee)
it bleed alot at first but it has stopped apart from a little bit here and there and the amount its bleeding is decreasing
i am mainly worried about the swelling around it
firstly i washed it with cold water then i pressured it with a wet towel with savlon antiseptic on it, then i left it elevated in the sun for a while then i washed it with salty water(not from sea) then i dried it. later i put some ice in a tea towel on it cos i was worried about the swelling
it hurts to work the muscle that it is above like if i do a calf raise it hurts(but not on the calf)
i want to know if it is one of those injuries to just tough out and get back to sport the next day cause i have training for basketball tomorrow
there is no numbness
please help
