Pain In Calf After Playing, Lump Present, Remain Stationery. Did Muscle Came Through Lining?
hello so ive recently been running a few miles every other day. and i also started playing squash. so after a few times playing i noticed pain in my calf next to my shin, sorta liek a shin splint but there was a lump. the lump then went down after i finished playing. its still there slightly and swells up if i excercise so ive been taking it easy. the lump stays stationary under the skin. idk if the muscle came through the lining or what, any help?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
This is not to disease but known as exertion contusion ( collection of mass & blood in simple language).
Regular exercise after few days rest will provide complete relief.
Get a rest of 5-7 days and start again.
If still feel inconvenient then take 1-2 pain killers along serratiopeptidase (reduce edema ).
Ice pack massage will help.
In my opinion this is not a cause of concern as this is a sports related contusion. resolves spontaneously.
Good luck.
