Hi, Fell off of step stool on the 16th around 8:30 PM ish Very bad fall and I fell on the R side of my face and I think torso and R leg fell on ladder. Saw MD on Saturday and my neck is OK. Still a lot of pain. BUT I AM NEEDING TO KNOW ABOUT a weird bruise. It is 5 X 6.5 and pretty much that wide throughout. And this particular spot on my R thigh, just above and to the R of that knee. Knee OK. Bruise is hard, swollen, very hot and still painful. It has lost a lot of it s color . The other bruises are all soft like usual. Just purple and other colors. This is the first one like this. I was putting ice on it the first day and then added an Rx lidocane patch on it c tape so it would stop jiggling when I walked. I skipped today but put on another this PM. It needs the support. What should I do with it? Heat or more ice, or just be patient? It is hard with defined edges. I m on baby ASA Is this a hematoma? I told the MD but he didn t want to see Thanks, Christine
