A few weeks ago I was stabbed by a striped catfish between the thumb and first finger, so painful, had X-ray( it was clear of anything left inside, and tetanus shot, now I have a little lump in the wound area, what could this be?

Is the lump painful?Area around it red?

If so, it is possible something is still inside that did not show on xray. In which case you need a doctor to incise it and locate and remove it.

If not, just a lump, then it is likely just a residual hematoma (clotted blood) or scar tissue.

It is not red and the soreness has almost gone, looks normal from the outside, I have to go back to hospital for the 2nd Tetnus next month, if it is still sore I will get them to X-ray again, thanks for the reply.
