Suggest Treatment For Painless Lump In My Leg

I have a painless hard lump on the bone running down the front of my leg. It is about 31/2 inches up from my ankle. It is clearly visible, does not move, does not cause pain in the leg, & there is no color change. I probably noticed it about five months ago. I should also say that I have lost about 130 pounds over the past two years, & that I sometimes get Charlie Horses in my calves.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. As it needs a clinical assessment of the lump to comment on it specially with a history of this kind of weight loss you wrote, I would advise you to consult a general surgeon/orthopedic surgeon in your area, who might investgate you radiologically before opining on the same.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
