What Causes A Squishy Lump After A Bad Fall?

My husband fell on his side a week ago. It has finally started bruising a couple days ago. But now there is a gooshy part right where he fell on his side. It s under the skin it feels like a water balloon. His mid section is definately larger on the side he injured, just recently. Both sides were the same size up until now.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

It might be a hematoma.

It is nothing but a collection of blood that develop after a trauma.

Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself in couple of days.

You can apply ice packs for faster recovery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
