Suggest Treatment For Hematoma
On May 4th I fell off of a ledge about 3 feet and landed on rock and cement stairs. I landed on the outside of my left thigh and had a huge hematoma. I went to my orthopedic and he said it should be better in about six weeks. I still have tenderness and also have a huge indention where I landed in it. It s about 3-4 long. Will that indention ever go away? It seems like I tore the muscle in half.

Hello,
Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern
I went through your query, and I feel, your concern about the swelling is not worthy of over attention. Just let nature take its course, and let it remove the collected blood by itself. So sit back and relax.
I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back.
Thanks.
