Large Bump Above Ankle, Little Bruising, Hard Swelling. History Of Hitting Inside Of Leg On Boulder. Advice
Earler today I hit the inside of my lower left leg on a boulder. I have a large bump 4 inches above my ankle with minimal bruising. I have been applying ice 20 minutes on 20 minutes off. The reduction in swelling is also minimal. The injury is 4 by 3 inches and 2 inches thick, It is also very hard, but not very painful. Is there anything else I should do?

Hi,
It seems that due to hard hit there might be formation of hematoma over the part giving rise to bump.
Nothing to worry, continue ice pack application 2-3 times a day for 2-3 days.
Ok and take care.
