There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

I have been questioning whether or not I chipped my shin bone on a shopping cart. I noticed this hard, but free floating lump around my shin where I had smacked it against the underside of a shopping cart not that long ago. It doesn't hurt and I can move it around inside my body like it's not attached to anything, and there's also a divet in the bone on that leg that isn't on the other. Again, it doesn't hurt at all tho and in my experience, a broken, chipped or cracked bone is the most painful thing I have ever experienced so there's no way it can be that... right?
I did this on when I slipped out on a box snowboarding. My shin straight up has little peaks and valleys from bone chips that presumably came lose that day and relocated and I'm guessing eventually healed / just fused into their new spot? It hurt like a bitch at the time, but I knew I didn't break it and never went to the DR about it. It must look real interesting on an X ray. Now if I slide the skin up and down on my shin you can see all the chips. I don't have any pain from it, just a weird injury with a bit of a story to tell.
