Suggest Remedy For Bruises And Lumps On Thigh And Legs

Hello. I picked up a 60 pound rock and I fell over and the rock landed on the inner part of my right thigh. It bruised terrible and it seems the bruise is traveling down the rest of my leg. It now goes down past my knee and that area is still very dark almost blackish purple. On the upper part of my inner thigh the bruise is lightening up but now I noticed a lump has formed. I have pain in that same area when I walk and terrible pain when I am sitting for a long time and then get up to walk.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.

From description it seems to be soft tissue injury . Large lump might be due to haematoma formation(collection of blood).
You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury.
I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.
Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid putting weight and rest well.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
