What Causes A Squishy Lump After A Bad Fall?
My husband fell on his side a week ago. It has finally started bruising a couple days ago. But now there is a gooshy part right where he fell on his side. It s under the skin it feels like a water balloon. His mid section is definately larger on the side he injured, just recently. Both sides were the same size up until now.

Hi,
It might be a hematoma.
It is nothing but a collection of blood that develop after a trauma.
Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself in couple of days.
You can apply ice packs for faster recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
