Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I fell on a staircase two weeks ago. Hard. Got back up and fell again, same spot. Upper right buttox. Bruising (severe) occurred on the whole cheek except the area of direct impact, golfball/baseball size. It hurts but is not debilitating by any means.....walking and driving with a bit of effort to avoid direct pressure on the area. Feels like a tight water balloon. Can see change in shape of my rump. Please advise? Thank you in advance.
Hi! Thanks for calling. You could have developed a Hamatoma (Blood Clot) in that area which hurts on pressure and best treatment is givew some rest and wait and watch. If it still persists after 4 weeks consult a Orthopaedician.
