Lump On Front Of Shin Bone, Pain During Last Few Months. Treatment?
I have a lump on the front of my shin bone just above my foot . I play hockey and my skate tongue , where the laces are tied at the top of my skate presses against it and when it does is rather painful. I have noticed this only in the last couple of months. My other leg is fine in the same area and the lump doesn t seem to be going away.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Do you have any past history of injury in this area?
You should go for x ray of the affected limb as soon as possible.
You may have superficial soft tissue harden mass or may be related with underlying bone.
You should also consult with orthopedic surgeon.
After X ray, nature of illness can be defined.
Get well soon,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
