What To Do For Golf Ball Size Lump Followed By An Accident?

Hello, My mother fell down and bumped her shin a few weeks ago. She has suffered bruising on her ankle and around calf next to the shin bone. After the fall a golf ball size lump has appeared next to the shin bone, about 6cm below her knee on the left leg, left side of the shin where she fell, which is painful along with the bruising. She has applied ibuprofen gel but can t sleep on that side and the lump is not subsiding. Is this a worry?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
She may have haematoma formation due to injury. She should go for x ray to rule out bony injury. If no bony injury then no need to worry. Just take anti inflammatoryand analgesic drug.
If bonyinjury is there then consult orthopaedic surgeon and start treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
