Hi- I fell a few weeks ago and hit my shin pretty hard. A large bruise formed that was white in the middle and almost numb to the touch. After a week and a half/ two weeks the bruise cleared up. I am however still left with a white hard lump that hurts with pressure- especially when kneeling. It is also less sensitive than the surrounding area. What is this and what can I do.
Hello, I think you had a hematoma (blood collection) in the shin area that now is organized (hardened) and is swollen. I think it will take some time for it to be absorbed by your body. You can help it by gently massaging it. Since it is not inflamed you do not need to take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  Give it some more time and do not worry. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
