Huge shin bump!!!!?!
Question: When i got hit in the shin by a slapshot in hockey it left a bruise. Now, 5 months later there is a bump on the bone (underneath the skin) that if you looked at it you wouldnt be able to tell anything was there but the bump is very hard. I've gone to the doctor and he doesn't know what it was. If anyone knows what this is please tell me, and don't just say go see a doctor or that i have cancer (unless you really think i do( which i dont think i do))

you damaged the bone and surrounding tissues. ask your doctor for a referral to a specialist and find a new primary care doc -yours is useless.
Everyones body just heals differently, I would not worry about it too much. Keep an eye on it, shins heal slowly. When I was 19 I got kicked in the shin pretty hard and it left a bump long after the bruise was gone, but it went away. I hope this helps...
