Suggest Treatment For Large Bruise On Trochanter Area

Hi Dr.

I slipped and fell pretty hard on my right side a month ago. The bruises have resolved, but I now have two hard ball feeling things under my skin around the greater trochanter area, where I had a large bruise. It is still tender to the touch. What is this?

Hi...

Sorry to hear about the fall..
Thanks for choosing us to answer your query...

Your lump and swollen area could be a haematoma that could have been due to fall...
Now it is healing...since it is over the bone it is tender to touch..
If I were you...

I would have iced it frequently on that painful area....
Gently knead the area surrounding the painful spot...
In case I have any Anti inflammatory gel I would apply over it twice daily...


Hope this is helpful for you...
Kindly revert back in case you need any further help in this regard....
I find this answer helpful
