Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.
Treatment of shin bump-
I dont find any reason to associate current painful lump to 2 yrs back trauma,as it would healed by now.
For the lump below shin 4 wks ago-I would advise you to
Use anti-inflammatory drugs / cold compresses to resolve the lump /and take ER Ortho- Surgeon's consultation with CAT scan
Local Voltaren gel(diclofen gel) would resolve the boney bump
Thrombophobe ointment locally to resolve the fibrosing hematoma and to reduce any hematoma on left side.
This advise is based on the facts from the history you give and needs further clinical check.
So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you, but just ask a query to HCM and be comfortable to resolve your health issues.
Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.
Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advise.
Have a Good Day.
