What Is The Cause Of Lump And Discoloration Of Leg?
I dropped a 42lb metal box on my leg neat my ankle at work about a week ago. As soon add it happens I had a huge lump and discoloration (red) I iced and elevated that night. Next day lump went down and no bruises. It still has a small lump and is painful. My work shoes sometimes bump it but other than that I haven t got it again or anything like that. I was curious to know how I can help it heal and how long it should take.

well, it is just an organised hematoma and not to worry much for this. you continue to press ice-cubes or cold compress and if not relieving within 7 days then consult some surgeon for aspiration of the material inside; never poke it as this may invite infection!
all the best!
