Suggest Treatment For A Lump Appearing On The Leg

I recently wrecked my dirt bike and hit my lower abdomin (above penis). A walked around hunched over for the next few day and I was in a lot of pain. Once the pain went away and I could actually touch that area I noticed I had a lump on the inner crease of my right leg. 1 doctor thought it was a hernia, the second doctor didn t think it was a hernia but thought I had broken my pelvis. X-rays showed nothing so what is this lump?

Hi. it is unlikely to be a hernia. it is most likely a muscle rupture or a intra muscular hematoma. A blood clot that is the commonest thing to happen in a scenario of trauma. If you do not have trouble in walking or passing urine and the lump does not increase in size at different times of day like straining or coughing then you need not worry. You will need anti inflammatory medicines like Tab Combiflam or Ibuprofen for a week on full stomach and application of crepe bandage over the swelling.
If the doubt persists then an MRI of the thigh can be done.
Do not worry.
Do let us know if we can guide you further.
Take care.
