Are The Lump On My Leg And Shin Splint Related?

I have a small thumb sized lump on the front of my lower left leg. Half way between my knee and foot. It is jut to the left of my bone, and I can only feel it when I crouch down and put pressure on the leg. It doesn t hurt, but I have been having shin splint lately. Are they related? Could it be a tumor?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some hematoma formation healed with fibrosis or some soft tissue tumor like lipoma or neurofibroma. You should go for ultrasound study. If needed go for biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
