How Can A Swollen Bruise On The Hip Be Treated?

Fell about 15 feet onto rockbed. Landed on my hip and now have a purple bruise the size of a volleyball and swellng to go with it. I can still walk and the joints, and as far as I can tell, my organs (kidneys) are fine. There is no pain unless I try to move after not moving for a while.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It could be a small hematoma.

Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself.

As of now, you can apply ice packs for faster recovery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
