i'm sorry to hear you're coping with this. you received good advice at the time of the injury. most hematomas do get resorbed by the body over time. however a small percentage do not. instead they can become encapsulated and feel like a hard painful lump beneath the skin. it's time for you to have this hematoma re-evaluated. it's possible you're one of the unlucky few whose hematoma became encapsulated. if that's the case the usual treatment is a minor surgery to remove it. wishing you well!
hematoma due to fall(15x10x5c) had for 5 months still not reducing and beginning to hurt. what are my options? . the hematoma is high up on my right butt cheek and feels like a constant muscle pull. i had a ct scan a week after it happened and was told everything was fine it would just take a long time to reabsorb. how long should it take? is pain like this normal for this?
