    Pain in lower left leg
    About a week ago I went paintballing, 1 hit me on my left shin bone, the bruise is going but I now have a pain in my lower left leg that is activated by movement or by putting pressure on the top outer part of my shin (not where the paint ball hit) its not a bruise pain so I was just wondering if I should get it checked or leave it because its probably nothing

    It never hurts to get it checked. Paintballs HURT when you get shot with them (I know this because I've been shot in the neck with one.. yes, the NECK!)

    Someone said I was very lucky that it didn't crush my esophagus.

    I know you said it doesn't hurt where you got shot, but the fact that you got shot could have caused deeper problems. I would see the doc just to make sure everything is OK.

    Well in the mean time take some Advil (it works great!) and see if it dies down. If it doesn't I'd still go see the doctor :)
