Suggest Treatment For Lump On Shin And Bruises On Ankle After Injury
I hit my shin bone a week ago, a softball size lump appeared on the shin and my leg was swollen for a day, a week later, I still have a rather large lump on my shin and my lower leg is bruised and swollen, including my ankle. My shin and ankle are really tender as well.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
From description it seems to be soft tissue injury. Lump might be due to haematoma formation. Get an xray done to rule out any bony injury. Meanwhile you can take antiinflammatory drug like ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation.
Hope this helps you. Warm regards
