Yesterday, while playing polo I received a whack to my shin from a horse head. It is very tender today and hurts most when I try and walk on it or when there's been pressure on it and the pressure is released. It's swollen, but not too bruised. Could it be fractured?

could it be, yes, can we tell without a x-ray and a medcial examine NO

Thanks, I live in Zambia so getting to the Dr. takes a little planning. I'll go this week especially if the pain and swelling get worse!

Do forget that a doctor is not around the corner for everyone.
