[|Human|] Hi my son has been kicked in the shin by a football boot ,unfortunately he wasnt wearing shin pads his shin is badly bruised and has a lump which is very painful to touch ,I ve elevated his leg and put a bandage on from ankle to knee and he s trying to get some sleep ,will I take him to a &e tomorrow for an X-ray?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for your query. From description, it seems to be soft tissue injury. Lump might be due to haematomaformation(collection of blood). You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance. Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
