Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I m 57 years old, i slipped and fell on some cinder blocks we have outside. fell on my right hip area, this was over 2 weeks ago and the bruising is almost gone, but I still have a huge bump on my side hip area and is not going down? it s still a little sore and I m not able to lay on that side. help? thank you
Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern. If the huge bump was formed just after you fell then it's hematoma at the site (Otherwise it is abcess)and it will regress in itself however if it was increasing in size, pain intensity and was interfering with your daily activities then you have to do Doppler ultrasound of the area and consult orthopedic surgeon. All that you have to do is to follow RICE that is reclining... don't sit or sleep on the bump site, apply ice pack if severe pain with something intervening, Apply elastic compression bandage over the site. Use antinflamatory medications like Advil, Motrin for temporary relief. Hope it helps best. Don't forget to rate this answer and close the discussion at Healthcare Magic. Take your best care Regards Dr Ejaz
