Suggest Treatment For Soft Tissue Swelling In Hip Due To Injury
I fell skiing 2 weeks ago, injured my right hip. I had a good size black bruise which is going away, but i have a large bump of soft tissue that is still present. I cannot sleep on my right side because of the pain. Short distance walks are OK. Long distant as in a mile or more seem to irritate it.

Hello,
The symptoms are consistent with a hematoma.
It is nothing but a collection of blood underneath the skin.
Generally it will settle by itself. In your case it is still there even after two weeks.
Better to consult an orthopedic and plan for an ultrasound scan. If the size is large it has to be aspirated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
