Sir, I met an accident on 18/8/15 I have hurted my muscle over knees. Suddenly the muscle become greenish blue. & thereafter it s look reddish. Now I can feel there is something harder 2-2.5 inches harder to touch under the screen, but no pain. I have taken ice for 5 days from the accident date. Is there any clotted blood on the muscle?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi

Thanks for your query and Welcome to Healthcare Magic . I am Dr Akshay from Fortis Hospital, New Delhi.

I think you had a quadriceps strain initially which was managed conservatively. Initially there was a Haematoma due to which you saw change in colour of skin.
I presume what you are palpating right now is a fibrous nodule which has formed as a result of fibrous healing. Also you have mentioned that it is painless.
Actually if there are no symptoms, then nothing needs to be done for it but we will have to see that there should be no increase in size and no increase in symptoms, otherwise further work up and investigations like MRI etc may be needed.


Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance.
You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation.

Thanks & Regards
Dr Akshay Kumar Saxena
