Hi, a month or two ago I hit the side of my shin off something which caused a large bruise. After a few weeks the colour and the swelling of the bruise had gone but I was left with a hard lump (as if it was the bone) on my shin. The lump is still present on my leg, it is not getting any bigger but there are no signs of it reducing either, I don t know whether this is worth taking to my GP or not. What most likely is it exactly? Many Thanks.
Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As the injury is old and now no symptoms of pain and aches. It's only about the lump, you can take therapeutic ultrasound therapy which will help loosen the tissues and perform needing massage to improve the tissue flexibility, by this the lump will be all gone. Many patients in my clinic come with similar complaints, but they respond well to physical therapy. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
