What Could On And Off Shooting Pain With Huge Lump On Shin Post An Injury Indicate?
My son got stepped on by a bull 31/2 weeks ago, when it happened he had a indent in his shin now all if a sudden a baseball size limp had appeared. It is hard to the touch but is not red or discolored. It is painful on and off like shooting pain not constant. What could be the cause?

Hello,
This might be due to local injury to the bone that cause bleeding in the bone or in the surrounding tissue. I suggest you to go to your doctor for imaging of the bone to see any possible hematoma or swelling around the injured tissue. Meanwhile, give over the counter analgesics and physiotherapy of the affected limb.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
