I banged my shin towards the inside of my leg 2 weeks ago whilst getting out of a swimming pool resulting in a huge bruise and swelling the bruise has gone but I now have a lump which is extremely painful to touch but also causes sharp stabbing pains down my leg.
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Even though it needs a personal clinical examination of the lump to diagnose, from your history, it seems to be a collection of blood (hematoma) resulting form the trauma to your leg. The pain in the lump points to the fact that it got secondarily infected and that it could have formed an abscess which is painful to touch. In that case, you need to take appointment with a general surgeon or go to the ER of your nearest hospital for a possible Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
