Suggest Treatment For Lump Caused On The Buttock Post Fall

Monday night/Tuesday morning around 2 am I was at the gym playing Basketball and took a small fall and landed on my left side along the upper buttock and lower back. 2 days later I woke up with a painful lump near the very top of the buttock crack. A ping pong ball size lump that s very sensitive if I lay on my back or sit back to far. Wondering if it d just one of those injuries that come with age or if it s something more serious.

Hello
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.com

Probable diagnosis : Hematoma
Treatment : Conservative,rarely needle aspiration
Prognosis : Excellent

As there is history fall and development of lump following that suggest the possibility of a hematoma.Its nothing but a lump that develop at the site of a bruise due to collection blood.
I can assure you that there is nothing to worry in it and in most cases it will disappear by itself with in few days.
As of now you can do the following things:
Apply cold pack over the affected area.
Take simple analgesics like "ibuprofen" or acetaminophen for pain.
Avoid strenuous physical activity
If the swelling persist for long please consult a general practitioner and in that case you might require to aspirate fluid/blood from the lump for complete cure.

hope I have answered your query.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
