Could Lump On Tibia Be A Result Of Vigorous Exercise?
I have a lump near or on the tibia it s painless, but I m curious to what it is. I self diagnosed myself with shin splints a while back when I first started gym as I felt pain in them when I ran, but I have now stopped using the running machine. Any idea if the two are related or what the lump is

Thanks for query.lump on tibia needs to be evaluated for its origin whether it is subcutaneous or arising from bone.most possible is they may arise from bone as shin of tibia has less subcutaneous tissue.exostosis may be a chance as its painful on exertion.you need to see an orthopedician for complete evaluation.regards
