Patient: I have had a lump on my shin, with bruising running down both sides of my shin to my feet. It is now 2 weeks and the bruising appeared 5 days ago the lump hurts at times. Also, I have been getting random sharp pain from my lump area it s very painful too. What should I do Doctor: Hi,Thanks  for  your query.Painful lump over your shin seems to be inflammatory in nature. I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.Take care
