How To Treat A Tender An Sensitive Lump On My Tibia?
I hit just to the right of my tibia on the center console of a car. Then about 10 minutes later there was a large hematoma so I iced it which seemed to make the hematoma go down a little. Now I have a very large bruise that hurts even without touching it. Sometimes when it is touched it feels like a pinching sensation. The lump is small but still there and is extremely tender and sensitive. What should I do? Will this just take time? Are there any risks I should be concerned about?
Hi. When the hematoma is under tension , it will cause tremendous pain. Since this hematoma is under the periosteum, which is fixed to the bone , this causes such an extreme pain. Show to the Orthopedic Surgeon. He may decide to give you medicines or put a needle to drain this and put a pressure bandage.
