How Can A Painful Hematoma On The Hip And Mid Back Be Treated?

I fell down a flight of stairs 2 nights ago and I have a very large hematoma on my hip and mid back I went to the ER and my regular Dr. today with symptom of extremely painful burning which is so painful- I am completely disabled with pain...I have been applying aloe gel w 4% lidocaine on the hematoma which definitely helps, but the pain returns with a vengeance. Any pressure- such as lying down- even if the hematoma area is not layed on- k@yahoo.comicks off the pain. I am at my wits end with this pain- and I am exhausted. What can I do?

Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
I have read and understood your concern
The pain and hematoma you describe are normal after an injury of that sort.The hematoma will resorp with time.I will advise you get an x-ray to exclude a fracture.Your Doctor may prescribe pain and anti-inflammatory drugs depending on the intensity of pain.You may also try heat/cold therapy.
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns.
Wish you a speedy recovery
