Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump On The Shin
My son slipped and fell hitting his shin and know it has a knot and bruise and it also it is tender to touch it. He has all function to that leg and also he said it hurts a little bit around the ankle area. I was just wondering is that something to be concerned about.

hi.
it is normal for the area to have an inflammatory reaction for a couple of days. the swelling will present on the first 3 days then it will eventually subside. if the pain and swelling persists and progresses, and your son has difficulty in ambulation, it is best if you bring him to a doctor for clinical evaluation.
hope this helps.
good day!!
