Shin lump

[MimiDuncan]

Hi, I recently found 2 little bumps/lumps on my shin bone. They are more visible when I put pressure on my legs but if I look for them I can see them. I honestly do not know how long are they there…I did not hit my leg recently. I will go to my doctor but wondering if these bumps are common? It makes me a bit nervous. Thank you.

I've always had these on my shins, my whole life. They feel rubbery when pressed

Thank you.

do you still have them?

or they went away after time?

Can I ask what was your sisters diagnosis?

shs had lump on her shin bone also?

I am going to the doctor on Saturday.

Thank you.

is it on the middle of your shinbone bone?

Yes, middle and lower shin

They’ve gone now, took a year!

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

I have these too. Had them for years, not painful or even particularly visible unless you look closely. If you go to the doctors please can you post what they said as I’d like to know too!

Thank you for your reply.

I will of course let you know of course.

do you have them also on your shin bone ?

do you have more than one?

Sorry to take so long to get back but yes on my shin bone. Just looked like big lumps, no blue colour or visible veins.

It was bone cancer. I must hasten to add, it was a rare cancer, especially for adults.

they're varicose veins.
I have the same lumps as you in the same place, went to the doctor and he said they're varicose veins. Tried compression socks and massage, they've never improved. I wanted to get surgery on them years ago but because they don't hurt or cause me any trouble it was seen as vanity and if i wanted surgery i'd have to pay for it.

I am so sorry to hear that 😔

can I ask you was the lump on her shin bone also?

Thank you for your reply.

the only thing I don’t think they are varicose veins is that they are skin colour, so no blue colour etc. and also no varicose veins next to it.

do you have any colour of the lumps on your shin bone?

No there is no colour difference for me. Its just skin colour. Let me know what your doctor says.

Thank you for your reply.

are your lumps are round shapes also?

mine looks round shape also.

doctor said she thinks they are varicose vains.

Yes mine are round. They looked exactly like yours years ago when i first noticed them. They're bigger now due to no treatment.

Thank you

I know this post is old but I have a small hard lump about 2 inches below my knee cap, on thr front/side of my tibia. It feels like bone, but hurts a but when I press it. I think it's been there since April but I don't remember banging it. I'm more aware of it now as I'm doing a lot of cycling, but it developed before I started cycling. Anyone have the same where it wasn't anything sinister? It's not visible to the naked eye but I can feel it. It's not present on the other leg.

I would get anything that is unusual for you checked out. It’s a lump. See your GP. Better to be safe than sorry.

Me again. So the Dr didn't seem too concerned but has arranged for an Xray at my insistence. He something about a possible bone spur?
While I wait however many weeks for my xray, can someone please calm my nerves and let me know if they've had any experience where a hard boney lump turned out to be nothing?! As I said, it does hurt when pressing on it and don't think it's grown. It's on outer edge of tibia none, just below the tibial tuberosity

Bone, not none!

Are they hard or soft? Look like varicose veins to me.
