A member asked:
I hv a hematoma on my shin but rarely hurts ! do i require drainage? when does one need a drainage? will it hurt? thanks

No, not usually: Hematomas on the tibia or shin are fairly common because of the subcutaneous position of the bone. Most hematomas will slowly dissolve and go away w/ time. Aspirating these is generally not a good idea as the fluid is thick and the risk of introducing infection is real. See your ors if concerned. Gl!
