Hi I feel down the stairs about a year ago and formed a hematoma about a golf ball size... Then I went to the doctors and they said the bruising will go down and the swelling within a few months to the most well it's been a year and no change except brusing gone I just don't know where or what to do from here if I could get any answers that would help a lot!

If hematoma is not getting dissolved after one year than I would recommend you to either get it aspirated by needle or removed by surgery. Although hematoma is not dangerous but there are chances if it can be Lipoma or any thing else. It will be proved after surgical Biopsy.
