I went to see doctors and they said it will eventually go away but that was a year ago and it hasnt changed. should i be worried?
Hi,This could be Fibroma post-hematoma or it could be subacute- bursitis with changed alignment after the last trauma. .Consult a Surgeon and if need be orthopedic Surgeon. Remedy- IF confirmed as fibroma from a Surgeon-I would suggest Surgical planned Excision.
If bursitis-as proved by USG study, Tab-Motrin 400 mgm x 1 weeks time with script from GP doctor.
If no relief-Consult for a Second opinion with Ortho-pedic surgeon. Hope this would help you to resolve your query.
Else Contact with a Followup Premium question to ME. Will appreciate your Hitting thanks and writing excellent review comments to help needy patients like you. Welcome with any other further query in this regard. Good Day!!
