What Causes Lump On The Shin Along With Swelling And Bruising Of Foot And Ankle?
I slipped and fell on my dock and really smashed my shin, it had a huge egg for a day or two then it went down. It still hurts to the touch and just sitting here. My ankle and foot a couple of days later began to swell and bruise, only a bit of pain, not much. Should I see a doctor, or is it just normal?

Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, if you experience walking difficulties then X-ray ankle joint, and orthopaedic review may be needed but if not using OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen alongwith anti inflammatory gels and rest may be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin
