Suggest Remedy For Lumps In The Leg
My son got hit in the leg/ankle area 2 mos ago, no pain but large egg size hard lump is still there. We've seen his doctor, got xrays, no conclusion. Doctor recommended an MRI..but we can't afford. Any suggestions? Very healthy and athletic young man.

Hello
Thanks for your query
Based on your query, my opinion is
1. Long standing growth need to be evaluated for tumor.
2. Though there is a history of injury, the size of growth is quite concerning. It could be from bone or soft tissue.
3. Go for Fine needle aspiration cytology to know the nature of lesion, followed by biopsy to decide on further management.
Regards
