Fall Causing Bruises On Butt Cheek, Knot. Using Heating Pad And Ice. Will It Go On Its Own?

I fell almost 5 weeks ago on cement stairs. My right butt cheeck was completely covered with the bruise . A knot had formed and is still there. The bruise as just recently went away. The knoot is the size of a baseball and is long. It is still very tender to the touch. I tried ice and have been using a heating pad recently. Will this go away on its own?

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your query, it seems that you might be having soft tissue swelling.

You can take a painkiller like Ibuprofen twice daily after meals along with an antacid like Omeprazole 40 mg once a day. Serratiopeptidase can be added for better effect.

I would also like to advise you that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated.

Continue hot fomentation as it will be more beneficial than ice in a 5 week swelling.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
