Bruised Tibia, Ankle Bones, Resulted In Swelling. Treated With Rice. Discolored Numb Lump On Shin Above Ankle.
Hi, about a month ago I bruised my tibia and ankle bones while playing soccer. It resulted in a lot of swelling and bruising and I treated it with RICE. Now there is a large discolored lump on my shin just above my ankle. When I touch the lump it feels numb and it it hard in some spots and very squishy in others. What is this and how do I get rid of it?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having formed hematoma causing this problem.
Apply ice pack 2-3 times a day for few days.
Take some anti-inflammatory medicine for 2-3 days.
Raise your foot end while taking rest.
Ok and take care.
