<s>[INST] I hit my shin really hard on a step while getting into a van about two weeks ago, it hurt a lot at the time but i thought it would be fine later on, never thought to put ice on it or anything. It never looked very bad from the outside, there is light bruising and a bump, however despite its appearance, it is still very painful and very sensitive to touch, the bruise and bump have not seemed to change since the i got the injury, and it doesnt feel like its healing. should i go see a doctor or wait a little longer and see if it goes away? [/INST] Hi,Thanks  for  your query.From description , this hard lump most probably formed due to haematoma formation (collection of blood) which might get fibrosed or calcified.It will take few weeks to months to get disappear.I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination of swelling. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.Meanwhile give hot fomatation over it, You can take Tablet Motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily).I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.Take care </s>
