What Causes A Big Knot On Shin After An Injury?
I got hit with a garden tool just below the knee in the upper shin area. A big knot formed yesterday and this mornig it is very hard and very sore. I am surprised because it did not hurt that bad when it happened, but by mid afternoon I had a baseball sized lump.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having blood collection giving rise to big hematoma.
Apply ice pack 2-3 times a day for few days.
Gradually it will be absorbed.
Ok and take care.
