How Can A Hard Leg Lump Caused By Injury Be Treated?

Hi there I had a big knock somehow during a game of football. My bottom half of my leg/calf was extremely painful and tender for a few days and painful to walk.. It has now eased since and the nursing is coming up but now when I touch the one part on the inner side of the leg bone/shin there is a kind of big hard lump. I m not sure if it is on the bone or on the side but it feels like it s just on the edge of the bone. Do you have any ideas? Thank you!

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having some injury over shin bone i.e. tibia like abrasion or minor injury to upper layer of tibia giving rise some infection of. bone.
Consult orthopedic suregeon and get examined.
Go for x-ray shin for having any osteomyelitis.
Ok and take care.
