When i bend my leg, i have several lumps that appear around the shin area. Not painful at all, quite squishy actually. No other pain or discomfort, and no medical family history. And they're only really visible when I bend the leg. Any ballpark ideas on what this could be?
Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. Although it might not be possible to arrive at an exact diagnosis without having a physical examination of your problem, this could be due to varicose veins in your leg (dilatation of the leg veins) in which there is stagnation of blood. Therefore, I would advise you to get it evaluated clinically by your family physician who might also advise you for some investigations like a Doppler ultrasound of both lower limb vessels.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
