Symptoms
Watch VideosWhen I broke my leg, it was one, very painful. I actually heard the bones breaking. There was a snap. But immediately afterwards, it started to swell up. That was the first symptom that I noticed. It had swollen all the way from kind of the middle of my shin down to my foot to the point where I couldn't even put my shoes on, or I guess just one shoe. And discoloration is also a really big symptom. It started turning kind of like a dark purple. And that's when you know that you need to go to the doctor. I was a little bit stubborn and kind of wanted to elongate it and try to see if it would heal on its own. But at that point, it was something only a doctor could fix.
