I sprained my ankle a week and a half ago. today a lump on my shin appeared. it hurts to touch and is about 2 inches long. ?

Without knowing if: ...you injured your shin at the same time, I can't tell you if the lump has anything to do with your ankle sprain. Bruising & swelling of the shin are particularly noticeable since there's so little "padding" between the shin bone and the skin. If you get more bruising or lumps on your shin or spontaneous bruises any where else, you should seek medical care.
