Suggest Treatment For Bump On Shin Bone
I have painful pea size bump on shin bone of left leg. At night it causes restless leg or if i sit too long i have to rub it or walk around. I also have numerous pea size knots on head that are very tender to the touch. Headaches weekly. Just wondering if neurofibroma has a part in this since i have about eight cafe latte birthmarks.

hi, greeting from HCM.Since you have multiple pea size swellings and eight cafe latte birthmarks you probably may be suffering from neurofibroma which is a benign swelling arising from peripheral nerves .Another possibility is that can be a neuro lipoma which can also be painful. you can consult a surgeon and do a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.
