What Is The Treatment For Swollen And Bruised Leg And Ankle?
I hit the back of my leg between my ankle and calf on the corner of a table about a month ago. It instantly bruised and swelled up. As I said it has been about a month and although the bruising has faded considerably(almost gone), there is still a small bump there that is very painful and tender to touch. The bump is long about 2 inches across and 1/2 inch tall. The only time I feel any pain there is when I touch it. Until tonight when I started getting sharp shooting pains where I hit it.

Hi, I value your concern regarding the symptoms. I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion your bump could be a comming from a damaged nerve, and may need desensitization or surgery to get rid of this pain.
