question: About 6wks ago I injured my right shin with a hard bump on a grocery cart. All this time there is severe pain, redness and soreness to the area and about 3 inches above and below the initial site. There has not been the usual black, blue, and discoloration that follows a bruise and my doctor wants to performa an ultra sound. It hurts to the touch and is painful when doing nothing at all. Having a sock cover the area causes discomfort and I feel my doctor is not doing enough to remedy the situation.
