Why Is There A Bump On My Shin Caused By An Injury 5 Years Ago?
Hello, 5 years ago I took a helmet to the leg in football and I have ever since had 2 inch long bump on my shin. It feels like a bruise when i press down on it, color is normal, its almost rock hard. I got a CT scan 4 years ago and they said it was fine. What do you think?

Hello,
It could be a damaged nerve, which causes skin hypersensitivity in this region. There is no reason to panic!
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
