Painful Lump At The Site Of Hit On The Shin. Could It Be Broken?
Hello. About 3-4 months ago, I got kicked in the shin by my younger brother because we were arguing. My shin bruised up and was cut. Now when I feel where I got kicked there is this painful lump. My mum said that it was probably fractured but I didn t believe her. My brother was wearing wellies that were hard on the tips of the toes. What should I do about my shin ????

Hello.
Thanks for posting your query.
From description , this lump over your shin most probably formed due to haematoma formation which might get fibrosed or calcified.
It will take few weeks to months to get disappear.
I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination of swelling. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.
Meanwhile give hot fomatation over it, You can take Tablet Motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily).
Wishing you good health
Regards.
