What Could Lumps On The Shin In People With Sprained Ankle Suggest?

HiI sprained my ankle two weeks and an mri showed I also had a tear. I was in a soft cast for a week and now I m using a walking boot. I have noticed a lump on my shin, on the bone, where I had bruising and there is slight pain when I press on it; should I be concerned? My doctor only focused on my ankle. Thanks in advance for your help! Sincerely, Jessica

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
From description it seems to be soft tissue injury or ligament injury . Lumps might be due to haematomaformation(collection of blood).
I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray/MRI of the area affected under his/her guidance.
Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
