I was playing baseball and the pitcher missed and hit me on my shin, there was a massive bruise but after 3 weeks it dissapeared and left me with a lump/bump..it won t go away. it doesn t hurt at all except when I hit it or fall on it. should I see a doctor?
Hi, Thanks for your query. From description, this hard lump most probably formed due to hematoma formation (collection of blood) which might get fibrosis or calcified. It will take few weeks to months to get disappear. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination of swelling. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.Meanwhile, give hot fomentation over it, You can take Tablet Motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (up to 4 tablets daily). I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
