Shin injury. Painful
Discussion
During a mountain bike ride last week I noticed a bit of a niggle and weakness in my shin. It is presumably a strain or tear.
I did take a fallat one point, but there was no obvious injury to the lower leg.
After the ride there was stiffness and swelling in the shin. I have been icing it and compressing it.
5 days later it is still swollen and sore to walk and to ride.
I ride a fair bit, on and off road, but have never experienced anything like this in 1,000s of miles.
Anybody else had this?
How long is this likely to last?

Mate of mine thought he had shin splints, ended being diagnosed with cellulitis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulitis
