Hi, I fell down the stairs 2.5 weeks ago, very badly. IThe injured spot is my left buttocks. I probably hit 5-6 steps and was so bad, it took a little time to even get up again. It was completely black within hours but I don't remember a large lump. The bruising is all but gone. Now, I'm still in pain and most alarming is a huge lump...one that feels massive to the touch and can been seen through clothing. I'm now, realizing the severity, icing it as much as possible but I'm very concerned at this stage. It's something that is terribly uncomfortable and through reading online posts, I'm very scared won't go away. It's so big, I don't believe I can manage the thought this could be long-term. Thank you, in advance. Louise.
