<s>[INST] I hit my lower shin really hard two weeks ago, it was very painful, warm to the touch even so I took ibuprofen, iced it, and kept it elevated. At this point the swelling has gone away as has most of the pain unless I touch it or bump it. However I just noticed that there is a large solid feeling lump right above where my shin connects to my foot. Is this lump something to be worried about or will it just go away with time as the deeper levels of bruising heals? [/INST] Hello! Thank you for the query. This lump is most likely a hematoma. Due to recent injury blood vessels have been ruptured, and the blood appeared in the soft tissues. Such blood collection, if its large enough, can not be absorbed without medical help. That is why it should be checked by a general surgeon. Soft tissues' ultrasound should be done at first. If fluid collection will be confirmed, it should be Chat Doctor. Hope this will help.
