Suggest remedy for lumps & swelling in the ankle
Patient: I was hit on the shin about 4 weeks ago mid-way between my ankle and my knee. The spot immediately swelled like an egg under my skin within seconds. I still have a hard painful lump there. Is it scar tissues? I ve started massaging it hoping my body will reabsorb any clot or scar tissue. Doctor: Hello sir/madam.According to your complain it looks like blood accumulation in subcutaneous tissue. It wont get reabsorb with massage.You need xray evaluation for any bony injury,kindly consult an orthopaedician for the same he might also ask for sonography of that swelling and will direct you for the treatment.You might require surgery for that swelling. And things will be fine.Thank you.
