Is A Hard Lump On The Distal Shin Post Injury A Concern?
I got hit from close range with a hockey puck on my distal shin about two weeks ago. It swelled and bruised as expected, but it s been two weeks and it still bruised and there is a very hard lump over the bone. Wondering if this is normal bruise healing or possibly something more?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Depending on the severity of pain and whether its increasing or decreasing, getting an x-ray and ruling out fracture would be helpful. So it appears that it could be little worse if the pain is increasing.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
