What Is The Remedy For The Lump And Numbness In The Leg After Hurting In An Ice Fall?

I slipped on the ice and hit my leg like 2 weeks ago. Now there is a hard lump in my leg like a finger in length. Also some numbness and pain. Still brused, the pain lessens when I stay off of it and throbs when I am on it for a good amount of time. The lump and numbness are my comcern.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi. This is obviously a hematoma under the periosteum- so the pain and numbness. I would advise to have an X-ray just to rule out the hairline fracture.
Take an opinion of an Orthopedic Surgeon just follow his advise.
