What Does Slightly Painful Lump On Hip After A Fall Indicate?

Hi, After a fall down the stairs and a large (entire upper leg) sized bruise, I now have a large slightly painful lump on my hip that hasn t gone away after a month. The bruise color itself was gone after about two weeks. Should a doc look at this? Don t want to have a permanently lumpy thigh.... (30 yrs old).

hi.

yes, it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably an orthopedic or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation, especially if the lump is persistent and is associated with pain. it may be a fibrotic tissue formation secondary to the inflammatory reaction you had during the time of incident. but other lesions, such as tumor type, must be ruled-out. diagnostics (x-ray, MRI) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
