I feel from a tree a couple of weeks ago onto my right hip. I still have some local bruising but have a large lump with local discomfort. Also it feals like simethinh is missing inside my outer hip area as compared to opposite hip. Is there anything to be cincerned about and should I seek medical attention?
Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
The swelling with the local bruising could be due to some amount of oozing of blood which got accumulated in the sub cutaneous tissue around the hip. However, the large lump might not be explainable simply by the oozing of blood. This could be due to accumulation of significant amount of blood or due to a dislocation of the hip ( in which case you might have limitation of the movements in hip joint). I would advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon in your area for a clinical assessment and possible radiological investigations to rule out any bony injury. Till then, you might go for an anti inflammatory with a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
