I fell last year and hit my shin on the sharp edge of a rock. It resulted in something very similar. But the "stone" seemed to be a growth of the shin bone itself, not separate, so I do not know if I am describing the same thing. It took several months but for me all I did was visualize it shrinking, and it did. It is now totally back to normal.

Hello All,

My daughter woke up this morning with a light purplish bruise on the lower part of her shin bone. It's about 2-3 inches in diameter with a light yellow center which feels like a small stone (tender to the touch). She does not remember banging herself yesterday -- but she is a very active 9 year old and I can't rule it out. However, at the same time -- I wonder if it could also be a spider bite of some sort.

Either way -- what's the best course of treatment at this time? I can make a poultice of EIS (silver water) and then I was thinking perhaps a comfrey poultice. Is there any way I can draw any of the toxin out if it is indeed a spider bite?

Thanks for your help!
