What Causes Bruising Along With Painful Lump On The Buttocks?
I fell a little over 2 weeks ago and besides a bruise that was my whole left butt cheek I also got a lump. The bruise is almost gone but the lump is getting larger and more painful. I am not sure if I should go to the ER. I cannot sit on a toilet seat and if I touch or accidentally hit certain areas it is extremely painful.

Hello madam/sir, welcome to medical care magic.
Just take any painkiller tablets three times daily for a week. The pain will relieve but the swelling will take more than a month to go. This is because of the area. Butt is the area where there are packets between tight walls formed by fibers. so the swelling doesnot spread also. it will be localised with severe pain and time taken to decrease swelling size also late. so dont worry
With this I hope I cleared your doubts. Take care. Good health
