Hello and welcome to HCM,
Bruising and body ache are expected after fall from staircase.
You need to take rest and pain-killer for body ache.
Hot fomentation can also be done for body aches.
A bruise changes its colour from red to purple to green and then yellow.
Lump on the buttock can be due to hematoma formation.
If the symptoms are not relieved after few days of rest and pain-killer, you can consult your primary healthcare provider.
You need to take pain-killer like diclofenac and a muscle relaxant like serratiopeptidase.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja Puri
