Severe Bruise On Leg, Swelling, Lump Formation. Why Does It Hurt To Jump?
Male, 32 years old. During a soccer game about a month ago I had a collision of legs with another player. What started as a severe bruise with swelling on the side of my shin on my right leg, made its way to my ankle. Now i jave a giant lump in the original spot of contact. What do i need to do to release the fluid built up? I still have swelling around my ankle as well and the bottom of my calf is very sore. It jurts to jump. Thoughts?

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
From description , this lump most probably formed due to haematoma formation (collection of blood) which might get organized.
It will take few weeks to months to get disappear.
I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination of swelling. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.
Meanwhile give hot fomatation over it, You can take Tablet Motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily).
Hope this helps you.
Regards.
