General & Family Physician, Dr. Nishad BN's Response
Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely hematoma. This can be caused by contusion of underlying structures like muscles. Rest , ice , elevation and NSAID like Nimusulide will be helpful in most case. But in some case the hematoma will be compressing the underlying muscle or nerves and in such case incision and evacuation is advised. In such case better to consult your doctor. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
