Hi guys,

I had a fall 6 days ago and landed hard onto the ground on my upper femur/hip area. The area has slight swelling and only slight discoloration but is still very sore and tender to touch. There are no issues with walking, stretching etc. I went to the dr and she said its just a bad bruise. Now 6 days later I have serious muscle pains all throughout my glutes/buttocks leading down to the upper part of my legs. The muscles pain so much that I can barely sit or lay down on my butt. I did not fall on this area. The area of injury is still very tender but has not grown any more swollen or worsened, though it hasnt gotten better. Can anyone give me some insight as to why I have suddenly got this pain throughout my buttocks and options for relief?

Thanks

Shan

    Hi there - I recently had a fall where I ruptured 3 hamstring tendons near my buttocks and have a hematoma. It would be beneficial for you to have an MRI done to determine whether you tore a tendon as the pain can radiate down your leg as well. I now have to determine whether I will have surgery- it is frustrating for me. I pray your situation gets resolved for you quickly and that you are well soon.
