Suggest Remedy For Bruise On Thigh Causing Pain
Question: Hi, I have a bruise like pain in my left outer thigh, my masseur tried to break down a knot there and now I feel pain and it is lumpy to the touch, no bruise, it feel like an indentation on the muscle.
Brief Answer:
Can be a muscle spasm.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The indentation on the muscle and a knotty feel can be due to a muscle spasm or a muscle tear. Even if there is no bruise it is best to ice the area and take an oral muscle relaxant.
In case there is a visible swelling then do consult a physician. Otherwise it will subside on its own in 1-2 weeks.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
