Good evening. 2 days ago while exercising, I fell to my knee and hands from a severe pain in my hamstring muscle. I felt like a pop when a rubber band breaks. I had an xray done at an urgent care&was told to use moist heat&cold therapy,wrap the thigh and elevate. Today, I have developed nasty bruising. Dark purple&blue from the medial groin to underneath glute area. I feel a soft ball in the medial groin and the whole area is swollen down to the popliteal. I do take plavix. So bruising is normal. But, this looks scary. Please help. Thank you in advance.
Hi, Thanks for your query. From description, it seems to be soft tissue injury. Soft swelling might be due to hematoma formation(collection of blood). I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the MRI of the area affected under his/her guidance. Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
