Suggest Treatment For Knot On Shin Due To An Injury
I hit my shin on a bike peddle in spinning class and there was some scarring, swelling, and it was bruised for about a week. It has been almost three weeks since the accident, but I have a huge knot on my leg. Why is that? Is the injury more serious than I originally thought?
Hi, from history it seems that you might be having formation ofhematoma and now encapsulated giving rise this problem. Go for ice pack application for few days. Apply thrombophob locally. If knot persisted, go for x-ray to rule out any infection in shin bone. Ok and take care.
