I have large lump and bruise on the side of my upper thigh, after slipping on stairs. Of course it s sore, but there isn t any pain in my bone area. Do I need to see the doctor? Just for background I ve had Juvenile diabetes for 40 years and stage 4 kidney disease, both of which are now well controlled and monitored.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello.
Thanks for posting your query.
It seems to be soft tissue injury . But if the tenderness persist and you have difficulty in putting weight, there might be chance of bony injury.
I suggest you to consult a doctor for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.
In the interim,apply ice packs to the affected area,anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid putting weight and rest well.
Wishing you good health
Regards.
Dr Saurabh Gupta
