What Causes Painful And Tender Lump On Leg After An Injury?

my 10 year old daughter hit the back of her leg into a chair last night when she was jumping and lost balance. I noticed a lump where she hit it and put a ice pack on it. The spot is tender still today and she said it still kinda hurts.. The lump isn t as big but I can feel it. Should I be concerned?

hi.

it could just be an inflammatory reaction secondary to trauma. but it is best if you consult with a doctor and have it checked. an x-ray will also be of great help to rule out fracture.

hope this helps.

good day!!
