What Causes Lump In The Middle Of Shin?

I have a lump on in the middle of my shin. I first thought it was a bruise because it started out as a sore spot, but i do not remember hitting my leg on anything. In about a weeks time the sore spot has grown to a lump a little bigger than a grape. It is sore and hurts when touched. It is not discolored.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some hematoma formation or swelling due to some minor unknown injury. Or some soft tissue tumor. You should go for examination. If it is due to hematoma formation then you should take anti inflammatory plus analgesic drug like ibuprofen. If it is soft tissue tumor then go for biopsy and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
