What Causes Lump On Hit Shin Bone?
I am 62 years old, 152 lbs, 5ft 9 inches. No medical problems
I hit my shin bone 3 weeks ago, about 7 inches below the front of my knee, it is not hurting me but it has a lump the size of a quarter. Please advise what I can do to get rid of the swelling. Thank you

Hi,Dear,thnks for the query.I reviewed your query indepth.And I am of the opinion that it is due to the hit which lead to the -bony contusion with hematoma-clot which is recovreing slowly.Cold packs 2 times a day/ leg elevation while sleeping, and Anti-inflammatory tbs, for which you may contact your local doctor.Re-contact if you have more problem.Hope you got the answer to your satisfaction.WEllcome to HCM again.Thks for query to HCM.
