Hello. So about about 7 or 8 years ago, I was in a soccer tournament, when I was kicked! Very hard right above my shin guard, 1-2 inches under my knee. It turned out that I had a severe bone bruise, and apparently nerve damage also. When it "healed" I was felt with a large hard lump there, which remains numb for the most part. I can feel pressure. Well recently the lump seems to have extended. Now I have a small lump next to the big one. I'm not sure what could have provoked change in status. Like i said, it's been that way for a long time. It happened when I was 14 or 15 and I'm only 22 now, so I don't think my age is a big factor yet. Hummm, I'm just not sure. If anyone has any thought, please let me know. And thanks to everyone who stuck with me through the back sorry :)

Hello Steph,

You may have chipped a piece of bone off and it remained in the skin and eventually was walled off.  Either that or you have a blood clot coming from a fracture of the tibia.  These are two possibilies and I'm sure there are others.  It's difficult for me to determine what happened since i can't see you or give you a physical exam.  The next time you go to the doctor, have the doctor take a look and if necessary he/she can do an X-ray to see exactly what is in there.  At the moment you're not having any problems so all is well.  A lot of people have embbeded material in their skin and even deep in tissue.  I have friend from Europe who has a piece of metal inbedded inside one of his sinuses.  He is retired now but he worked as a machinest.  No doubt a piece of metal embedded itself a long time ago but nothing has come of it.  It always shows up on his X-rays.
