Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I fell off a motor bike and landed hard on my right hip on the 2nd December. It was swollen and sore to the touch. On the 5th December I started experiencing diarrhea. This went on for a few days then stopped and restarted. It comes and goes in its severity but I have not passed a solid stool since. It is now the 24th December and I still experience diarrhea my hip where I fell is now hard. There is still slight swelling but the area has become hard and lumpy. Could the diarrhea be associated with my fall? Also are these lumps something to be concerned about or is it like cartilage that needs time to break down in the body? Thanks
The history of fall and diarrhea could be two different condition and they are not related with each other these might be pure co-incidence, what the swelling you have could the soft tissue inflammation or fracture part and just to differentiate it or rule out this better to get done the x-ray of injured part,
Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Akhtarhusain Shaikh
