    If they are very soft and look bluish they may be the start of varicose veins. If they are medium soft then possibly fatty lumps or if they are hard they are bony nodules/growths. Have you damaged your tibia/shin bone at all?If they are hard then a visit to your doctor and maybe an xray will discover what they are. If they are painful then definitely see your doctor.
