I Have A Knot On My Shin And Mildly Painful Caused By An Injury
Hi I dropped a skillet, hit my shin. Immediately, within seconds I had a knot on my shin and mildly painful. I am on blood thinners due to a clotting issues. I am pretty confident I just busted a blood vessel, but what should I watch for or when should I be alarmed?

Hi
After going through the query ,my advice would be compression bandage,ice fomentation and limb elevation this will help.But you should watch for increasing size of the swelling and discoloration.
Take care and wish you good health.
