Is A Doctor Visit Required For Lump Below The Calf Muscle And Shin Splits While Training On Football?
I have a pea sized lump just below the left calf muscle. I play football regularily. I had a bruise for about 3 weeks in same spot after a tackle but noticed I still get pain several weeks later and its getting worse.I get shin splints a lot when training especially on the left and the leg aches. It sometimes throbs. I have tried massaging but nothing helps. Not sure what to do. Do I need to see dr? Is it anything to worry about? Thanks
Hi, From history it seems that you might be having hematoma encapsulated and localized giving lump formation occured due to old injury and bruised. Apply ice pack 2-3 times a day for few days. Apply thrombophob cream on the lump. Ok and take care.
