What Could The Knot Beneath Shin Bone After An Injury Be?
3 weeks ago i suffered a significant blow to my shin (while chopping wood). There is a large bony knot on the shin bone (not soft tissue) that is not going away. I have significant pain when I press the shin on the opposite side of the leg. I suspect a cracked bone. I also have what feels like bruising on the bone and soft tissue below the injury site and today I started getting cold flashes in the leg. I can walk on the leg with very little pain. Should I go to the ER or let it resolve itself?
