What Causes Lump In The Shin After Being Hit With A Ball?
Hello, about 2.5 weeks ago I was hit in the left shin quite hard with a softball. It instantly bruised and formed quite a large lump. It is still very sore and while the bruising seems to be going away, the lump is still there. Should I go and have it examined?

Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic .
It Is most likely a haematoma underneath. Since it is still sore better to get it examined. If such a patient comes to me I will put on serratiopeptidase with aceclofenac to reduce the swelling .
If thick collection then aspiration may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards
