Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was standing in the shower and felt a pain in the front of my shin. I looked down and a lump with a bruise has appeared although I havent had any injury to cause it. It is quite tender and hard, but it seems to be going now now. Should I be concerned?
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to musculo-skeletal injury . X ray of the leg will be helpful to rule out any fracture or other pathological causes.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained by heat therapy, application of analgesic & muscle relaxant gel, intake of analgesics like Diclofenac (to be taken after food) + Pantoprazole (to be taken 30 minutes before meals). Supplements of Calcium & Vitamin D can be included in diet which will help in strengthening of bones.
If symptoms still persist, kindly consult an Orthopedician for proper clinical examination. Also, maintain adequate hydration & nutrition status, take proper rest and avoid stress. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.
