I hit just to the right of my tibia on the center console of a car.  Then about 10 minutes later there was a large hematoma so I iced it which seemed to make the hematoma go down a little. Now I have a very large bruise that hurts even without touching it. Sometimes when it is touched it feels like a pinching sensation. The lump is small but still there and is extremely tender and sensitive. What should I do? Will this just take time? Are there any risks I should be concerned about?
Hi. When the hematoma is under tension, it will cause tremendous pain. Since this hematoma is under the periosteum, which is fixed to the bone, this causes such an extreme pain. Show to the Orthopedic Surgeon. He may decide to give you medicines or put a needle to Chat Doctor.
