Suggest Treatment For Painful And Numb Bump On Shin After Injury

I fell down the stairs almost four months ago, and my leg is still sore and numb. I had a very large goose egg on my shin and the side of my leg. I had X-rays and a test for blood clots that were negative. I also have diabetes. Is it normal to still have pain and numbness?

Welcome to Health care magic.

1.No its not normal to have pain and numbness through out - there could be some nerve involvement causing the above symptoms.
2.After injury, collection with pain - can think in terms of infective process.
3.Get an ultrasound to evaluate the type of lesion, where it is from and what content. A needle aspiration to assess the cells.
4.After the results - a small incision and drainage followed by a antibiotic course will be helpful.
5.If money is not an issue - MRI of the area / leg will help in good anatomical and biochemical delineation of the lesion. Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
