What Causes Painful Lumps On Shin And Back Ache?

I've had a sore bump on my shin for a couple of months, now have two or three. Painful to the touch. I don't remember bumping them, and they're not black and blue or bruised. Also have a painful bump on the outside of my left foot, and last week started getting some very bad lower back pain that ice and rest will not help. I've been taking some ibuprophen but it helps only slightly. Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. If I were your doctor, after a general and local physical examination as a clinical assessment, I would advise you with some investigations lika a CBC, ESR, bleeding and clotting profile, a thyroid function test and an assessment by a Dermatologist as well. Till then, you could continue with the anti inflammatory along with a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief only.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
