As I was walking past a chair in the living room my hand accidentally got the wooden side hard. I thought nothing of it since its happened before. This time, however a bump the size of a quarter formed where I hit it. It throbs and is hard when I press on it. What is it and should I be concerned?
Hi, Thanks for your query. From description, this hard lump most probably formed due to hematoma formation (collection of blood) which might get fibrosis or calcified. It will take few weeks to months to get disappear. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination of swelling. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.Meanwhile, give hot fomentation over it, You can take Tablet Motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (up to 4 tablets daily). I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
