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.
WORRIED!! I fell down the stairs a week ago. Hurt my upper buttocks area pretty bad. It bruised reall bad after a few days on the spot where I landed. The bruising eventually went down my buttocks further. NOW...I have a large fatty-feeling swollen bump (like the third of a softball) on the upper area where I landed. It feels very strange and is still very sensitive if I sit on it wrong (against back of chair). It, however is not bruised but worries me. I have no insurance or I would have had it checked out. -Poor Rad Tech Student
I think you have a haematoma there which needs to be addressed, if it is not getting resolved automatically over time.
Apply some hot fomentation or Seritz bath if possible. It should settle down. Make sure you're not having fever that it should not get infected it will need a surgical treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Rajesh Hingwe
