Weird Air Pocket on Tibia 1 Year After LON (FREAKED TF OUT)

Edit Post

I had LON Tibias in Europe (not Turkey) Summer of 2022. I had the typical scars and markings that come with the surgery. But today I am terrified as all hell because out of nowhere this weird air bubble that looks a hot pocket appeared out of NOWHERE on my tibia this morning.

Its not a scar...I still have those but they have faded.

I can push down on it. It almost feels like a blister. It looks like a hot pocket.

I'm seeing my orthopedic doctor for a separate issue on Monday, but I'm still scared. What if its some bacterial infection ? Any Veteran LL's ever experienced something like this?

I've shaved and circled the bump for clarity.

Why havent you checked it out before?

Because it literally appeared this week, 10 months after my surgery, out of nowhere.

Nothing like it on X-Rays, not present on my leg in older pics, etc.
