What Causes Hard Lump On Shin After An Injury?

I fell off of a ledge that was about 8 feet above the ground today and my leg hit the ground directly. It did not hurt all that much afterwards but now there is an odd hard lump on my shin. I didn't hit my shin on anything today but as a runner I do suffer from shin splints, do you think this bump has something to do with my fall today?

Hi dear!

Thanks for consulting the Physicians at HealthCare Magic. I have worked through your case thoroughly, and I can easily realize your health worries. Being your physician, I reassure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon.
Yes. Its due to injury when u fell. Its blood accumulation (Haematoma) beneath the skin. Dont worry. It will resolve within a couple of weeks. Heat sponging will help u get better soon. Use Voltran gel for pain.

May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback to help us assist you in a better way.
