What Does Inflammation And Pain On The Lower Leg Indicate?
For the past week I ve had redness on my front lower leg (just above ankle region), and it is slightly sore when I touch it and occasionally when I walk. Today I noticed that there are about 3 lumps above that (on the shin area) that are about the size of a pencil eraser. They don t hurt when I touch them. Is this just a muscle strain, or could it be a blood clot?
