What Is The Lump On Shin Causing Swelling Of Foot, Ankle And Toes?
2 weeks ago i got kicked on my right leg on the left side of the calf. A very large lump grew instantly and i was taken to the hospital. They said my leg wasnt fractured but that i had to be on crutches for 2 weeks. Later i went to my doctor who said i had torn my lef muscle and he said to stay on the crutches. My lump has gotten worse the bruise is still there and my ankle foot and toes are very swollen as well. Im not sure what this lump is and im worried it hasnt gone away it is very hard but doesnt hurt.

hi,
thank you for giving a brief history. as your physician diagnosed that it's a muscle rupture you need to wait till the muscle heals. for swelling in the foot you should keep your feet elevated over the pillow while you lie down as it will drain the excess metabolic waste. incase you are still in confusion that you have more than a muscle tear you can undergo a scan to see if any vascular damage is there for which the specialist will help you out. since the lump is present from 2 weeks getting hands on examination will put more attention. taking an expert advise is never on a loss. for early recovery you can always take their help
with the grace of God I wish you speedy recovery
