Alright, I was playing soccer as a goalkeeper. I ran out to stop the player in a 1v1 play and stopped the ball, but I was also kicked on the inside of the shin pretty hard. The kicker was wearing cleats. I had a strong surge of pain but it went away after about a minute. I stopped playing for about 5-10 minutes and then played the other half, or 45 minutes. I'm guessing I was running on adrenaline for the second half because I could only feel minor discomfort. My dad later drove me home (15 minute drive) and when I got out of the car, I had a good amount of pain. I could walk up the stairs to get inside my house. I started watching the match videos and about 20 minutes into watching them I looked down at my shin. I describe the bump as a golf ball. I looked like there was a golf ball and the skin was stretched out around it. Obviously we got very worried. I iced it and it went down but I could not walk, stand up, or even sit down. I had to lay down and keep my ankle vertical. I stayed home from school for a week and 1 day. When I went to see a doctor, he said that I should just wait it out, and that I should ice it and rest it for that whole week, which I did. The first day I went to school, I had a kind of hard time walking, but I could walk. The next two days got easier. and today I could almost walk perfectly with no discomfort. Now, my question is, After two weeks, I have a huge difficulty jumping, light jogging and if I flick the area, it hurts (Obviously), so how long should it take for me to heal up completely? I need to go play again, I'm going crazy. Just wondering...
