Oh well ... um ... I almost feel stupid . The only time this happend to me was when I was kicking much harder than my shins were conditioned to withstand .

Somebody broke the heavy bag in half, so we were without it until just recently, I've started kicking it again though.

WTF man .. broke it in half ?

Anyways ,,, Whiteshark has the correct ( surprised ? I wasn't . )

Condition on the bag ... everything will be fine in the end ... as long as you don't get a blood clot and die in the process .

it was more like torn in half at the seem, then slowly taken apart by punches and the weight of the bag

I've broken several bags like that. They tend to rip at the top where the chains meet the bag.

This brings up a question I have. I don't train striking much or anything, but when I spar I never use shin guards and I kick pretty hard and pretty slow, so I get checked 80% of the time. Anyway, I formed a bony lump on my right shin about 2-3mm high and 3cm in diameter. It was preceded by a darkass bruise and bone soreness that lasted a few weeks. Been feeling fine for two months now, no pain, just a lump.

You guys who train muay thai get this kind of thing alot?

Lots and lots and lots.

I get lots of concave dents on my shins too.

I got a bump just like that from kicking a wavemaster. That **** was very worn off and I ended up hitting a piece of it with almost no padding, so kaput, my shin on the plastic tube. It hurt like a ************, and it took about a month for the pain to go away (and 6 months, I think, for the lump to dissapear.)

Glad to see I'm not alone, now we can all remain men together

I support this thread. Mine get swollen and bruised but no huge lumps. I do get the concave dents. I wonder about those. I think maybe it's not really a dent but the tissue around the impacted area swelling up. I dont know, but the dents do go away after a while.

-DARKSON (puts ice on shins, looks for bottle of Dit Dat Jao and wonders if this **** really works)
