Suggest Treatment For A Large Bump On My Shin After An Injury?

Hi I just played a game of baseball and a guy from the opposite team hit the ball really hard as if he was a professional. The ball hit my shin and now..I could slightly walk on it but it looks like I have a goose egg on my leg now. Can u please tell me what I should do now? I have that same leg up on my couch and have ice on it.

I have studied your case and I think you are having collection of blood in the leg in front of shin. You are doing right thing by applying ice over it.
I would also suggest you to take Brufen table let for pain relief. Also apply voletrran ointment over leg. I would also suggest you to apply compression bandage. Do not stand for long time. Take antibiotics after discussing with your doctor . Some time these hematoma get infection.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other follow up questions.
Thanks.
