Question: If you like muscle soreness and Swallen it hurts when I run or apply pressure never seen it before and this is now I'm worried about it
Brief Answer:
Most possible muscle inflammation. Other options explained.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I saw your photos.
It seems like it is a muscle contraction.
I am not sure if that its the case, but there can be also a broken rib in case you have hit it.
Also we want to make sure it is not an abdominal hernia- if it bulges more when you cough or bare weight.
Sometimes in that area a vein gets inflamed. If you feel a cord in the line of that swelling, then its time to see a doctor because an inflamed vein would need antibiotics to get treated.
What I would recommend treating it with is:
-- Apply locally analgesic cream and massage it gently.
-- Take a pain killer which will help with the pain and also with the inflammation.
-- Apply ice locally- will help you feel better.
Give it time to heal. If worse or not better, I would recommend seeing a local doctor, so they can examine you and understand what its going on by close look.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please close and rate the answer.
Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
