Brief Answer: Be relaxed, there is no reason to get worried now. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you so much for trusting us with your health query. I am so sorry to hear about this swelling that you just noticed. I have read through your activities prior to discovering this swelling and the description. There is absolutely nothing to get worried of at this time. If anything else like increased size, pains, or fever, then you may want to get it checked out. However, these incidental swellings generally resolve without need for medical treatment. It could have resulted from mild trauma that occurred during the skiing. Wit very low temperatures, pains or immediate swelling would be greatly tampered. Just like we use ice blocks to reduce swelling and pains. For now, stay relaxed. monitor it and reported any changes like those noted above. My gut feeling is that you would do just well without need for any further attention. I hope you find this helpful. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and please do feel free to ask for more information if need. Thanks. Dr. Ditah, MD.

Brief Answer: It would but I doubt if that is the case! Detailed Answer: Hard lumps that adhere to the bone raise the concern of cancers. I will not want to suspect this given the acute nature of this finding. I will advice that you monitor this over a few more days and let us see what we get. If new information should suggest otherwise, then we would pursue such options. For now, there is no point to get too worried. I wish you well. Thanks. Dr. Ditah, MD.
