How Can Painful Bruising On The Buttocks Be Treated?
I fell down a flight of stairs two days ago. Really bad bruise on my right buttock. But I can walk, bend, have full range of motion without any back or neck pain. It s just really painful when I first sit down or move wrong. I ve been taking ibuprofen. Should I go to the doctor?

Hello, Thanks for the query.
If the trauma is not very bad, all movements are normal without any hinderance and not restricted, then you may take the same drug for another 2 to 3 days and probably whole thing will recover. But if you notice any change, with swelling and pain then may need to visit a doctor. Thanks.
