Suggest Treatment For Painful Hard Lump On My Leg

i whacked the front lower part of my leg right on the bone on a chunk of ice. there was barely any bruising which is really odd for me as i bruise very easily. its been over a week since the incident and there is still a hard lump where i hit it. it hurts slightly when i press on it. the lump is very noticable when i run my fingers over it. also today i hit my leg again in the same spot while breaking up a dog fight and it really hurt for a while after. should i go see my doctor?

hi
Yes you should be seeing a doctor.Most likely to be some hematoma on the bone, but an x ray should be done to rule out any crack there.Advil tabs may be advisable thrice a day after meals and hot fomentation,application of thrombophob gel which your doctor may suggest if necessary
best wishes
