Could Two Lumps Along Shin Bone With History Of Fall And Smacked Shin On Concrete Be Serious?
I fell down the stairs a couple of weeks ago and smacked my shin on concrete. I had a minor bruise and believe I broke my toe. What is of more concern is that I still have two golfball width lumps right along the shin bone even though all bruising is gone. Is it a knot or something more serious possibly? If they are knots what can I do to relieve them?

Hello
These are hematomas--pools of blood under the skin.
They aren't anything serious and they will be resorbed in time. There is nothing you can do to get rid of them any sooner.
