Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi so about 3 or 4 weeks ago I was rough housing with a male friend at work and he slammed his body on me and I ended up hitting the rail with my breast I felt pain for a while after that and it was still a little swollen so I didn t think anything of it I never had any issues before that and now I have lump where the trauma took place could this be because the tissue is dead or ?? I m Just scared and want some type of answers I am 24 years old thank you!
Hello, I have studied your case. I think you may have developed hematoma in breast or a rib injury.I would suggest you to get ultrasound of the breast and a chest x ray to confirm the diagnosis. if there is rib fracture than it will take some time in healing. Some time it can be up to six weeks. If there is only soft tissue injuries than you can take brufen tablet for pain relief along with hot water fomentation. I hope this answer will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
