Suggest Treatment For Large Bump Formed On My Shin
I had a very heavy statue fall and hit Me half way up My shin...immediately I had a large bump and bruising....after a few days the bump was almost gone...now it has been a week and a hard bump about the size of a golf ball has shown up and more pain than when it happened a deep burning pain, now this morning I have black and blue bruising down on the left inside of My foot and nothing hit Me there...could this be a blood clot?

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised with x-ray.
As the large object fell on the shin, it could be more of a bony Injury and a fracture which must have not healed. or gone into malunion.
Since the shin area contains only fascia and very little of muscles any injury occuring there will straight hit the bone and lead to such symptoms.
undergoing a proper clinical Musculoskeletal assessment and an x-ray will help guide further.
With physical therapy post assessment, you can expect a better recovery with pain and other symptoms.
