[|Human|] I got into a car crash about two weeks ago and hit my shin. I was in a splint for a few days and crutches for about four days. I now have a large ish bump on the same spot where I injured it in the crash. It is very painful. And slightly swollen. Any ideas about why?
[|AI|]  Hello dear, The lump formation after injury is due to accumulation of fluid & blood, and it is called Hematoma. The blood cells accumulated are eventually broken down and absorbed in the body. But this is a slow process & takes times to disappear completely. Till that time, symptomatic relief is obtained by ice compression, adequate rest & analgesic preparation like Diclofenac+ Serratiopeptidase. If symptoms still persist, kindly consult an Orthopedic for proper clinical examination.X-ray of the affected leg will be helpful to rule out any fracture or other pathological causes. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.
