What Is A Large Knot On Lower Back Post Injury Suggestive Of?
I had a semi hard fall and landed on my lower back, now I have a large knot about 4 inches wide and 1/2 inch raised. The knot appeared about 30 mins after fall. Can someone tell me what it might be. There is not a lot of pain unless pressure is applied.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this is the history of fall and formed swelling then it could be due to hematoma or soft tissue inflammation, but for correct diagnosis clinical examination and x-ray is must without this nothing can be said anything for sure, hope this information helps.
