[|Human|] About two weeks ago in baseball practice, I overran a really fast grounder so the ball bounced and smack my lower shin(slightly above my ankle). It swelled alright but died down though there is still a small bump. It feels hard like its part of my bone. Ive been able to walk just fine but when I run I feel slight discomfort from where the bump is(no pain at all). I dont know if I fractured it, I just dont feel pain unless I poke the hard lump. Should I consider an x-ray? What to do about it?
[|AI|]  Hi, Good Evening. Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied it in depth and I understood your health concerns.-Treatment-1-I would advise orthopedic surgeon consultation before starting any treatment.2-As you are anxious and as you had the tender hard bump on the shin.3-But by the facts told by you, I don't think that you would have fracture of the shin -Tibial bone.4-Still as you are worried get the X-ray of the shin done and show it to ortho-surgeon.5-This bump is mostly due to the Money Contusion with cellulitis with resolved fibrosis hematoma and traumatic periosteal cellulitis and induration.6-I would treat it as follows-a-Cold compresses and b-Rest and Elevation, c-Tb-NSAIDs for 5 days to expedite the recovery.7-Dont get scared and uneasy, but be cautious and act fast. Hope this would help you a lot to relieve you. Wish you fast recovery-and healthy life. Wellcome to Chat Doctor with more queries till you are satisfied. Have a Good Day...!! Chat Doctor.
