Suggest Treatment For Lump In Thigh And Numb Painful Thigh
Hello, last year for MDW I got hit by a car on the left side of my body, I got hit really hard on my legs and I had a really big black and blue bruise on the outer section of my left thigh. I had a cat scan and MRI done that same night and they said I didn t have anything wrong with me. Now almost a year later that part of my leg is still numb and I notice that there is a bump now. I can literally feel a big lump on my thigh. It feels slightly numb and a little painful. Please help me figure out what it is, I thank you in advance.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
From description , this hard lump most probably formed due to haematoma formation (collection of blood) which might get fibrosed or calcified.
It will take few weeks to months to get disappear.
I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination of swelling. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.
Meanwhile give hot fomatation over it, You can take Tablet Motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily).
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
