How To Treat A Large Painful Tumor On Shin?
My 21 year old daughter fell on some stairs in April and got her shin really hard. She has since developed a lump on her shin that is sometimes painful to walk. She finally went to the walk-in clinic tonight to get it checked and was told it was a fat tumor and to live with it taking ibuprofen for pain. There were no X-rays done or any other testing. I did not think these types if rumors developed in non-fatty areas like the front of the shin bone. Does this sound like a correct diagnosis?
