Is Swelling On Buttocks Area Post Injury A Serious Cause For Concern?

I fell down my basement step. Went up and then down and landed on the edge of steps. I struck both elbow and my buttocks/ hip. I have a genetic blood clotting disorder. MMTH. This happened 4 days ago it is still swollen but no discoloration yet. How long before I need to see my doctor about any possible complications. I have had previous DVT and several strokes.

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

No, you should immediately contact your doctor.

As you have previous history of the DVT and stroke. This time also it is like that thrombus has formed in the vessels which can release to cause the stroke.

If you visit the doctor and start taking the treatment of anticoagulant immediately than you are free from the complication before it can occur.

Please start mild exercise as it can improve the circulation and prevents the clot formation.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
