Sorry only a medical / injury Q I’m afraid!?

So I kinda whacked my shin and outside calf on some rocks on Sunday. Proper lumps in both spots initially (orange sized) – now gone, but looks like the start of some good sized bruises.

I’m totally mobile – could probably tap dance now – but when it comes to walking up stairs I have to pick my leg up to raise it more than say 4 inches off the ground before it hurts (say 4/10 ish).

I can cycle fine (so long as I dont pull up) – but there is no way in hell I can lift my leg over a top tube. So – I’m not going to my doctor (he’s pretty useless anyway) – so what can I have injured on the front of my shin to stop me lifting my leg?

I know it’ll only take time to heal. Just curious.

Your thread title promised SO much….

could probably tap dance now

Could you tap dance before?

Could you tap dance before?

No! omg it’s a miracle!

With clipless cleats to make the “tap” sound on the floor?

Praise be – it’s a miracle!
