Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response

Hello,

I have studied your case.

Hard bump on your sacrum seems to be due to haematoma formation(collection of blood) which might get fibrosed.

As this hard bump is painful and bony injury is excluded, do not worry.

Do hot fomentation over swelling. It will take weeks to months to subside.

Use ring cushion and take sitz bath.
If not relieved then surgical correction may be required.


Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
