Hi. I had a fall down the stairs in February straight on to my buttocks. Over a number of days it bruised and was very painful. Then as the bruise started to disappear a lump started forming. The GP kept saying it needed more time as it was a big fall. Eventually I saw another GP who has sent me for an ultrasound scan. The ultrasound department ordered for me to go for an MRI scan. Both sets of results show soft fissure injury with a blood clot. The lump on the top of my right buttock is about the size of a small orange. I still get pain in it whether I m sat down for to long in work or whether I walk too much when I go shopping. I am on a list to see a general surgeon, but it s been almost 8 months now and the lump is no smaller and the pain is very inconvenient. I have just been taking painkillers from the GP as and when I need a decent night sleep. Because of the position of the lump I can not lie on my back and my sleep is disturbed. Will the surgeon do anything or am I stuck with this discomfort for the forsee able future?
