Could It Be A Contusion To Have A Knot In Shin After Injury?
About a month ago my 13 yr son was kicked in the shin. It bruised but went away. He recently started complaining of aches and now has what feels like a large knot on the inside/middle of his shin & says it's painful. Is this likely a contusion or something more that I should have looked at?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your son's problem is most likely a haematoma. But it is better to rule out a fracture by taking x ray of that part. For haematoma you can apply ice pack.It will disappear slowly.Hope this may help you.Let me know if you have any further query.
