Suggest Treatment For Lump Below Shoulder Blade

Hey. My wife is 35, in great shape and fell on the stairs three weeks ago. Last night I noticed she has a hand size lump on her back just below her shoulder blade on the right side where she fell. Part of falling, she twisted her ankle but that is well enough for her to now run on. The lump is smooth, colorless and not painful. It is softer then muscle and harder then fat and does not appear to be part of her muscle.

Hi,

Thanks for writing to HCM.

That can be a hematoma, following the fall.

That should resolve by itself in a few weeks. If it gets warm or painful, then it could mean its infected and needs drainage. So keep a watch on it.

Regards
