Suggest Remedy For Dent On The Right Buttock Caused By A Fall

A year ago I fell down a few stairs and landed on my right butt cheek, after the bruising and swelling went away I still have a dent where I landed, when I originally went to my dr. she said to ice it and take ibuprofen, is it too late to go back have something done to help it go away? I am 37 4 11 110 lbs.

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough clinical examination is advised.

As you have a dent and if it is not troubling then it should be a muscular issue. but still on a safer note taking a thorough clinical examination and an MRI should help understand the possible factors.

Many a times if muscular issues are there then exercises will help regain the muscle strength and improve the muscle alignment.

In my clinical practice we prefer to initially take a thorough clinical examination and MRI to make the best outcome score. Also it is never late for you to visit a doctor and get assessed.
