Is Hernia Related With Painful Lumps On Hip Bones?

I am experiencing pain horizontally from my hip bones in my lower abdomine. There is a small bump there that is causing discomfort. It hurts if any clothing is touching it and is causing me lots of discomfort. I recently hurt my tailbone and have been using other muscles that I m not used too. Could this lump be a hurnia that was caused by me using different muscles?

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

It is possible only if the lump is in the inner part of the thigh. Otherwise, its not a hernia for sure.
As you have had some injury recently, this lump can be a hematoma or muscle hernia. Both can cause similar symptoms, however, hematoma leads to an inflammation causing fever, sweating and weakness.

I suggest you to consult your doctor. Soft tissues ultrasound should be done to diagnose the problem. If its hematoma, should be drained.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
