Hi.Thanks for using health care magic. As per the history you tell, it can be a vascular lesion because of so much bleeding. Anyway I suggest you to consult an orthopaedic surgeon and take an X- Ray of the lesion. You can find the origin of the lesion whether it's from vessel, bone, joint or soft tissue and then proceed further. Thank you.
