bruise that wont go away

[nj juice]

whats up guys, quick question. About 2 weeks ago i took a baseball hard to my leg right above my shin. It immediately swelled up almost to the point of a baseball but then subsided some. After 2 weeks i still have a decent size lump on my leg and it shows no signs of getting any smaller. Is that a deep tissue bruise or something? Does anyone know how long until it goes away?

It's gonna be there for awhile yet. You bruised the bone and that takes awhile for the swelling and discolorization to go away. Also sorry to hear cause that shit hurts like hell.

Bro the lump and bruise will be there for a while. I had my lump for atleast 3 months before it went away maybe even longer. Til this day there is still a slight discoloration to the skin if you look close enough. It sucks doesn't it makes you not want to wear shorts. Where do you play ball?
