Lump on shin

Hi

my 6 year old has developed a lump on her shin. We had an X-ray which showed nothing wrong with the bone so have been referred for an mri. I'm going crazy with worry as Googling brings up all sorts. It looks like a like a lump but when touched feels more just like a swelling, it's slightly squishy but I can't feel a ball shape or anything. It's tender when pressed on. Have you seen anything similar in children and any signs it's nothing serious? It's not red at all and she well on herself

  • Hello Lizzie67 and thanks for your post.

    I have done a quick reply as it has been a year since the last post on this thread, and I'm not sure who will see your post to reply.

    If you do have any concerns about your daughter's leg,  do make an appointment with her GP and they will be able to take a look and refer her for any tests if necessary.

    take care

    All the best
