Does The Painful Lump Need Further Treatment?

21, 185cm, 80kg, no medical history. I sustained a heavy blow to the bottom inside part of my leg playing soccer 2 months ago and it swelled a bit straight away but no bruise. 2 months on and there is still a lump on the inside bottom part of my leg just above the ankle and it hurts to touch it hard. There has been no sign of it going either and is a constant worry for when i play football because if i get a tap on it it really hurts

hello and thank you for asking HCM,

I understand your concern. Since the lump hasn't vanished and the fact that is still hurting, my suggestion is to visit your GP as soon as you can. You probably damaged your muscle and to prevent some complications, it is better to check it by your doctor. Until than try to avoid sport and other physical activities. Rest your leg as much as you can.

I hope this answer was helpful to you and I hope that you will listen my advice and visit your GP.
