How To Treat A Leg Lump Caused By Injury?

Hello, I fell mountain biking today. I landed on a 3 inch tree stub about the width of a nickel or quarter. When I finished the ride & got home I notice a large goose egg. It s on the side of my leg about 8 inches below hip. I m trying to ice it all night so I can go on my trip Monday & Tuesday & ride again. Any Thoughts? Thanks KB

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The lump can be because of the inflammatory swelling secondary to trauma. The other possible cause can be because of the fractured bone. Nothing to be panic, consult a general physician and get it evaluated. You need get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. Mean while you can take analgesics like diclofenac and antiinflammatory drugs like serratiopeptidase (if you are not allergic).
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
