What Causes A Hard Lump On The Calf Muscle And Swollen Feet After An Injury?
Hi. I had a bruise on the back of my lower leg, below the calf muscle from falling down the stairs. The bruise coloring has gone but there is a hot, large, hard lump left. I also have swelling in my feet. I did have bruising and swelling on my feet which the bruising has gone but swelling got worse. I believe I bruised my tailbone as it is very painful to sit, squat, etc.

Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
First possibility:calf muscle hematoma(Intramuscular hematoma) from the trauma and this could be treated by Ice fomentation,topical anti-inflammatory medications.
SECOND possibility:Tendo Achilles injury and this can be excluded by doing MRI.
THIRD Possibility:Broken heel bone should be excluded by doing x ray showing your calcaneus.
