Hahahahaha I can't believe how freaked out some of you are getting over this! This is a common injury in Muay Thai and has happened to me and most people that I know that do muay thai at one time or another(usually within the first year or two). I had a "soft spot" on my shin and massaged it and used thai liniment and just took it easy on that shin for a while..honestly, I think it took a few months for it to heal up. I would do what the author of this thread was told and massage it over and over to try to "spread it out".
I never heard about lymphodema and this could be the cause of it so I would check on that to and see a doctor if you have those symptoms. If you're freaked out, go see a doctor but I'm telling you this is more than likely similar to busting one's knuckles. Not much you can do about it... |
