<s>[INST] i have gotten a bruise on my shin about 2-3 weeks ago. it immediately turned purple and was pretty big. but now the bruise is gone but it still is swollen. its not red or warm, i just have this huge knot like lump on my shin area. What could be the problem? [/INST] Hi In my opinion this lump is healing soft tissue hematoma( Organised hematoma) and will take few weeks to disappear. I would suggest mild painkillers , hot fomentation for 4-6 weeks . If it does not become small or disappear then we will have to investigate, Also keep using your leg normally. </s>
