Hit On The Shin, Large Lump Appeared Within Minutes, Increased Soreness, Difficulty In Walking. How Should I Treat It?
i apparently hit my shin while being thrown from a tube while on the lake this afternoon and a large lump (appears like I have a second knee ) formed in under five minutes. It is sore and I don t feel like I can walk well on it. It is cool to the touch. I have never experienced anything like this before and wonder if I should do anything to treat it. Thank you for any of your thoughts!

X-ray knee with leg s/b done to rule out any fracture.
this haemarthrosis if present, s/b aspirated.
Further mx after examination & X-ray findings.
