Hematoma on shin from being hit by a softball a month ago. fluid still trapped regardless of massaging often & starting to calcify. should i see a doc?

Only if painful: If it's not large or painful, it will likely resolve on its own. Warm compresses may help. If it is bothersome in any way, see your doctor.
