I ran into a large wooden chest/box in my apartment, and hit my shin really hard. I hit it so hard, that I buckled over and nearly blacked out from the pain (I compare it to being it with a baseball bat in the shin ... although that has never happened to me). I got up soon after, and could walk fine (even though it still hurt). I iced it for awhile. I soon noticed that I had a bump where I hit my shin, right below my knee. The bump has been there for over a week, and the bump is as hard as a bone (so it's not just swelling). Although the pain is gone, the bump is still there, and as big as it was when it first happened. What is it? Will it go away? Am I stuck with it? Is it a "bone bruise" (what is that anyway)? Let me know, please. Thanks.
