How Long Will Sore Bruise On Leg With A Lump Between Knee And Ankle Take To Heal?
I fell about 4 months ago down some stairs, and my left shin took the brunt of it, it was about a 4 foot fall and my leg was bruised for about two weeks, but it s still sore to the touch, and there is a lump about halfway between my knee and ankle. Should I go to the doctor or is it normal for healing to take this long?

Hi,
Consultation with a doctor is necessary at the earliest. In meantime, I suggest you to take a plain X-ray of the injured leg (AP and lateral view) and avoid bearing weight or doing extensive physical activity.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
