Wife may have hurt her leg - Ideas?

[StewDogg]

So my wife went to the gym yesterday with me as she is trying to get back into exercising. She was telling me her shins were hurting. I kept telling her it was shin splits and they'd subside in time.

Well, turns out while both was sore, she was really having trouble with the left leg. She kept going and now there's a knot/hump on her leg near the shin that you can hear a squishy liquid sound when you press down.

needless to say I feel bad. What it is and what do we need to do?

TIA,

-Ryan

Well as I first was reading your post, I instantly thought shin splits too as I have suffered from that a lot when I use to run marathons. Now I'll get the occasional pain here and there. BUT....you said she has a knot/bump on her shin and she is hearing squishy sound which makes me think it is something more serious. I would defintiely have a doctor look at this! Keep us posted on how she is doing.

AND.....as usual, we would love to have her register here and start posting so we can get info first hand.

Sounds like a doctor's visit is in order, Ryan.
