Suggest Remedy For Pain In Leg Caused By Bruise Post An Accident

Hi, I fell off a step ladder, landed on lower part of my back middle just above bottom (rump) right on the corner of the leg. Pretty bruised up some pain but so can walk, just slowly. However my main concern is lower part of back, waist area has a baseball size fluid feel lump. Should I get checked or is it prob just inflammation. I doing on & off ice. Thank you!

hi. I have read your question and understand your concern.

the size of the lump you have mentioned is pretty big. so whether it's a soft tissue injury or a fracture...both look bad enough to visit a orthopedician. even if it's a soft tissue injury it will need specialist attention.

I suggest you see your orthopedician and get examined. till then you can take painkillers like diclofenac to have some symptomatic relief.

hope this helps. for any further questions please get back to us. thanks.
