Bump In The Lower Leg After Bruised, Extremely Painful, Unbearable To Touch. Should It Be Investigated?
I fell of the landing strip zip lining two weeks ago. I scraped my shin and it swelled up quite significantly. I iced it and elevated it that evening. No bruising occurred. However, 4 days ago it began to bruise . It has bruised from lower foot to below my knee . The inside of my foot and ankle bone are slightly swollen but severely bruised. The bump is extremely painful and almost unbearable to touch. Is this just a bump? Or should I have it investigated?

Hi, Andy,
Thanks for query.
It seems that you might have got infection on the affected part.
There might be blood collection in the leg or even bone might be affected.
Consult orthopedic surgeon and get examined.
Ok and bye.
