Hey there! I was out surfing today and got run over, which isn t too uncommon. The fin hit the back of my knee, but instead of a bruise there s a long raised bump. I d say it s raised about a millimeter or two, and three and a half inches long or so. It s red and doesn t look like much aside from that, but it s causing me to limp quite a bit, and hurts if it s moved past a few small angles. It s soft and doesn t hurt unless I press down on it and touch the muscle (?) beneath.
Hello, The symptoms seem to be related to the injury. The bump is related to the inflammation at the area of the injury. I suggest to use anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg. I also suggest using cold compresses and maintain the leg elevated. Furthermore, I recommend to rest. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
