The year old periosteal hematoma on my shin is larger than a golf ball. heat or compression stockings do not help. can i have surgery on this?

Hematoma: Periosteal hematomas do take a long time to be reabsorbed . But a year is a very long time and size is worrisome. You should really see physician obtain radiographs.
