Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
About two weeks ago, I fell down our front porch steps and landed hard on my butt. It didn't bruise for a few days and I didn't feel that there was anything that was really wrong until about 4 days after it happened. Now, I'm experiencing a tightening in my left calf (it has cause a few charley horses at night time) and it doesn't seem to ever go away. This has been going on for 2 days now. Also, the top left side of my buttocks has what feels like a hard lump where my bruise is. I'm also having some back pain. I know that I need to see my chiropractor for an adjustment, but I'm concerned about the tightening in my calf and the bump under the skin on the back left side. Is this something that is normal after a hard fall? Is this something that will be taken care of after I see a chiropractor? I'm worried and not sure what to do.
