Painless Marble Sized Hard Lump On Shin. Should I Be Concerned?
Question: I have a marble size hard knot on my shin, no pain at all should I be concerned.... 49yo male
Brief Answer:
You shoud see a doctor.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your query on XXXXXXX
Well looking into your query I would like to tell you that the hard knot that you are mentioning may be just an innocent thing but can be a harbinger of serious issues . It can be a bony outgrowth , post injury or even malignancy .
Without examining in person it cannot be said what it can be . Physical examination can give a lot of idea.
I will suggest you to see an orthopaedician for this and get yourself examined so all doubts are cleared.
Take care.
