Suggest Treatment For Bump On Shin Bone

I have painful pea size bump on shin bone of left leg. At night it causes restless leg or if i sit too long i have to rub it or walk around. I also have numerous pea size knots on head that are very tender to the touch. Headaches weekly. Just wondering if neurofibroma has a part in this since i have about eight cafe latte birthmarks.

General Surgeon 's  Response
hi, greeting from HCM.Since you have multiple pea size swellings and eight cafe latte birthmarks you probably may be suffering from neurofibroma which is a benign swelling arising from peripheral nerves .Another possibility is that can be a neuro lipoma which can also be painful. you can consult a surgeon and do a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.
