Kicked On Buttocks, Painful, Took Advil, Feels Like A Hematoma Is Forming. Suggestion?
thanks. I was kickboxing and fell down hard on my left buttocks (not the coccyx). It is really painful right now. I'm icing it and it's hard to walk up the stairs (pain going down my leg). I took two advil (I hardly ever take meds). When I touch my buttocks where the bone is, it feels like a hematoma is forming. What to do?
Most contusions are minor and heal quickly,but, severe contusions can cause deep tissue damage and can lead to complications .
Sometimes a pool of blood collects within damaged tissue, forming a lump over the injury (hematoma)Contusions cause swelling and pain near the injury. The injured muscle may feel weak and stiff. Your hard spot is blood outside any blood vessel and is harmless; your body will absorb this slowly over the next few weeks.
To control pain, bleeding, and inflammation, keep the muscle in a gentle stretch position and Rest .If no relief then get examined by an orthopedician and get x-ray done for hip region.
