So, since slamming my shin into a solid metal tent-peg at Maelstrom (not a little camping thing, one of those big fuckers that keep the army tents from falling down) the area immediately south of the injury has become somewhat numb.

How worried should I be?

Oh FFS. It's probably a bigass bruise. Bigass bruises often go numb, then feature entertaining swelling and interesting colours.

Put some witch hazel on the bugger and try not to hit it with anything else. The feeling will come back in a few days.

but if it dosn't, go and see a doctor
