What Causes A Discolored Lump On Shin After An Injury?
I was kicked in the shin about 3 months ago. Swelled to baseball size and after much icing I still have a 1/2 golf ball sized lump with some discoloration. In the weeks after being kicked, foot, below ankle was sore with bruising as in severe sprain. What would cause lump not to go away?
Hi. After such a long period it is possible that the hematoma has stopped resolving and gone into stage of organization- a bit irreversible process. The nerves going through the area will cause referred pain.
