Suggest Treatment For Lump On The Shin

Hi, I got hit on the shin with a hockey ball, I was wearing shin pads, the shin pads split and now I am left with a large lump on shin. It s like fluid is in the lump. I have been putting heat packs and ice packs on it, and also massaging the lump. Which disappears for 10mins and comes back. Also if I don t do anything on it for a day it goes hard. It has been 3weeks now. What could it be? Should I keep doing what I have been doing?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks for contacting HCM with your health care concerns. The lump you are feeling is a bruise and will resolve over a 2-4 week period of time. I would not do anything to the bruise as nature will take care of it for you.
