Noticed A Large Lump And Bruised On The Upper Buttock
I slipped and fell down stairs tonight. Landed on left outer and upper buttock. Severe swelling and bruising and large lump. Also previous injury of 2008 on mid left buttock had left a ridge that never healed. Should I get an ex ray tonight or can I wait until mon to see orthopedist? I can walk but I m in pain.

Hi. IF the movements of the limb is fine, if there is no restriction you can wait , take a pain killer. But take full rest.
Consult Orthopedics Surgeon. Many times the soft tissue injuries can create more problems than the fractures , so do not take this lightly as you have a previous history.
