Lump On Shin Between Ankle And Knee. Hard, Tender To Touch. Painful. What Is It?
Hi I have found a lump on my shin equal distance between ankle and knee . I first noticed it 8 weeks ago, I don t remember injuring myself and it s never been bruised. It is hard and tender to the touch. It has grown slightly measuring approx.1.5 inches in diameter. I am getting pain in it mainly at night which occasionally goes down to my ankle can you suggest what it may be befor I waste my gps time? Kindest regards Mandy

it is tendon
many cases come where the tendon sheet is inflamed and is hard and give symptomps you give
the thing is no cure with medicines
you can try injecting kenacort injection on the site inside sheath locally repeated for 6 times once a wk
if does not control or recur go for its surgery
