it is always better to get an opinion of a Doctor.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted your history of felling down the stairs, getting bruised and now the lump, wants to know whether to be concerned.
This will depend upon the additional history:
Please provide me further information:
- What was the height from which you fell down?
- Whee is the bruise and the lump?
- Any associated symptoms like nausea, vomiting, headache, change of sensosium?
- Any difficulty to function?
- Any associated medical problems like diabetes, hypertension, thyroid problems, any medicines you are already on?
- Bruise and lump on or near vital structures like ear, nose, eyes or on abdomen?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes- I think you should be concerned and consult a Doctor for clinical evaluation, examination and further investigations if required and obviously to get the proper medications(which may need a prescription ).
Please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you need to or if you feel that there is a gap of communication.

Bump is on my bum on right hand side just below waist line. No other symptoms as described. Lump is the size of a baseball.
Brief Answer:
no symptoms- no worry.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
The size of the lump is quite big and may be due to hematoma formation. If there are no other symptoms, no difficulty in functioning, the worry is less.
Consult a Doctor to see if aspiration helps to resolve and have an X-ray of the area to rule out fracture.
no symptoms- no worry.
