What Causes Hard Bump On Leg After Hitting With A Metal Cleats?

I was playing soccer one day when another player hit me with his metal cleats right above my ankle at first it was really painful and lost strength on my foot, but then regained. Afterwards, it started swallowing and hurt for a couple of weeks. Now sometimes it feels funny and in some minimal way painful, but what worries me is the hard bump it left sort of like as hard as a bone.

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

As this hard bumps are sometime muscle knots and they restrict the muscle activity of contraction and relaxation. Therapeutic ultrasound therapy will help loosen the muscle knot and post which mild stretching and then Strengthening of the lower limbs should correct the weight transferring.

Also, taking up an x-ray on a safer side will not be a bad idea.

In my clinical practice when such sports injury comes we deal very technically to sort out the matter as the sports shouldn't be affected.
