Hello
2 weeks ago had car accident on bike and head and sacrum smacked down hard on concrete..Lump on back of crainium went away two days later..but sacrum left side still has this solid knot size of walnut..It is difficult for me to walk and have any weight bearing on left leg..bruising almost all gone, but not hard knot.. Went today to have xray and no fracture was found..PA I saw stated was real bad muscle contusion. She said apply heat. Can you give me any other recommendations so I can function??
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.
