What Is The Bump Near My Shin Bone?
Good Morning ... I am 24 years old, female, 5 10 , 160 lbs ... no funny medical history other than an appendectomy, lumpectomy, and tonsilectomy, and I also don t have a thyroid, but take my supplement every day ... about 8 or so months ago, I bruised my shin really really badly and afterward, I noticed a bump on what seemed to be my shin bone. It is very hard and almost feels like bone. Last night, I noticed that it is a little bigger than it was at first. Should I just watch it to see if it gets worse or should I be worried?

Hello,
Looking at your history, it looks that you are feeling bump at your shin bone at the site of previous trauma. If this bump is increasing in size and pain occurs then you should consult to your doctor, as this sign should be evaluated for any problem by at least having an X-ray or if needed by a biopsy (Examining piece of bone under microscope).
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
