Is a painless bump in shin (because of injury) dangerous?
Patient: My 20 yr old son hit his shin on January first...there is a fairly hard swollen bump still smack dab in middle of his right shin...should we be worried that it is still swollen? no pain, he works out at gym just fine...swelling has gone down since injury happened... Doctor: Hi. There is not much to worry about as there are no symptoms and not hampering his daily activities including gym.May be a consultation with an Orthopedic surgeon would help to alleviate any fears you have,
