Knee injury hematoma
Common Questions and Answers about Knee injury hematoma
knee
Almost a year and a half ago my boyfriend started to experience chronic knee pain. In February of last year he had a knee surgery to remove a hematoma and clotted blood and dead tissue. Since that surgery his knee has only gotten worse. He has been to every specialist you can think of and has been on extremely high amounts of pain medication with no relief.
Posting this here because I don't know where else to. I hurt my leg running in softball a few months back, and about a month ago I noticed a lump in my thigh (quad) in the area that I hurt. I've tried to massage it out, but it's still there. Last week I noticed that if I prop the ankle of that leg up on my opposite knee (almost like cross-legged) when I'm seated in a chair, I feel soreness in my knee that can kind of reverberate up into my hip area.
Hello,
This bruise needs to be evaluated as soon as possible as it looks like the hematoma has calcified. A hematoma is formed because of blood trapped in tissues. This blood may need to be drained. Less commonly, it may develop calcium deposits at the injury site and this may need further evaluation.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
During the second week of the injury, I became aware of the hematoma and started rubbing it vigorously to try to break down the tissue. Now, the hematoma has more or less subsided but there is discoloration under my eye and on the side of my cheek from rubbing. Will these eventually go away, or are these permanent? Also, exactly how prevalent is heterotopic ossification? I did some research online, and it seems that it occurs almost exclusively with spinal cord injuries.
Thanks!
The swelling was larger than my knee and stuck out more towards my outer leg. I followed RICE over the next day and a half, but it kept swelling and the bruise going darker, which I expected. Now, the swelling has gone down a lot along with the bruising. The area is red now and hard as a rock but is still very tender. I did not at any time have any problems bearing weight on this leg or walking.
I got a very bad bruised just above my right knee in may I went to the doctors a few weeks later because from about where the bruise was just above the knee down had swollen up they tested me and did a2 ultrasounds and ruled out any blood clots.
I was in a martial arts class and sustained a contusion to my outer thigh, approx. 5 inches above my knee. The trama was severe enough that I could not stand for several minutes and then could only, barely, limp around. For the first several days, only the point of impact was painful. After about a week, the pain started spreading across both my anterior and posterior thigh muscles.
I have had a MRI on my knee and Quad both coming out negative and not even showing fluid. I have seen 2 doctors and neither knows what is going on. I know something isn't right as this hurts constantly. I have tried physical therapy for 4 weeks and strengthening and not doing anything as well and nothing has worked. Always is the same constant dull pain whether sitting or standing. Any help would be appreciated.

A hematoma is a bruise. So you know how a skin bruise injury bleeds and then stops and then the old blood gets removed from the site as it heals. A brain hematoma is like that except that it happens inside the skull. There isn't a lot of extra room for swelling, so it presses against the brain tissue and can cause problems that are more serious than bruises in other locations. But once the swelling goes down and the body starts repairing itself, things should be stabilized.
From what I understand of a hematoma, it's a result of an injury to the wall of the blood vessel- they are very common and usually resolve on their own. I'm not sure how you being nervous would cause this, unless you had yanked your arm away or something of that nature- which could have caused an injury.
I suffered a periorbital hematoma and a subconjunctival hemorrhage over 2 months ago in a basketball game. The scleral bleeding has healed, but the bruising and part of the swelling has yet to go away. I still feel pain around my eye (throbbing sensation every now and then). Can anyone help?
Hi I suffered a sports injury in late August of last year, and ended up getting a big hematoma under my left eye. I was advised to rub this vigorously to aid with the healing process, and the hematoma went away but now there is an area under my eye that is discolored from the rubbing. It has been 4 months since the injury, and though it has gotten a little better, I feel like it has not improved in a while.
Thank you for your reply to my question. I have another question relating to the injury. During the second week of the injury, I became aware of the hematoma and started rubbing it vigorously to try to break down the tissue. Now, the hematoma has more or less subsided but there is discoloration under my eye and on the side of my cheek from rubbing. Will these eventually go away, or are these permanent?
Thanks!
Hello Doctor,
8 yo female Siberian Husky
Great overall health
Last night I found a rather sizable (golf ball) lump on the interior of my dog's right hind leg (by her knee). The lump is symmetrical and is not movable... it kind of feels like part of her muscle but is so large that I am concerned. I bathed her aprox. 2 weeks ago and did not notice it and she has not had any trauma (to my knowledge) to that region of her leg.
Any advice would be most appreciated.

I have just had 2 total knee replacements 2 months apart. First knee recovery went fine. With second knee, I have 118 degrees of flexion and 12 degrees of extension. My problem is that I am having serious femoral nerve pain ever since my 2nd operation 3 weeks ago today. It radiates into greater trochanter area of right hip and down my leg -- sometimes going down into the mid-calf area.
Patients on these medications can have a subdural hematoma with a minor injury and it is abnormal localized collection of blood in which the blood is usually clotted or partially clotted..
The treatment of a hematoma depends on its location and size. Treatment can involve draining the accumulated blood.
nondisplaced linear sagittal plane frontal skull fracture,
nondisplaced occitipal left lobe fracture with sub-durmal hematoma. Only CT scans done while hospitalised, MRI done 7 weeks after injury by GP as follow-up and to look at auditory canal because of ringing and hearing lose. NOTE:
found 2.5 mm mass in right internal canal consistent with acoustic neuroma.
My wife is chronic alcoholic - sometime within the last two days she fell backwards someplace in our house and hit the base of her skull hard enough to cause swelling at the base and a hematoma the size of a silver dollar -- I became aware of this roughly 24 hrs ago when she complained about not being able to lay on her back because her head hurt there.
Hello,
It is due to formation of subungual hematoma. A subungual hematoma is caused by collection of blood (hematoma) underneath a toenail or fingernail. Keep the hand elevated and apply cold compresses by wrapping ice cubes in a towel. Please ensure not to apply ice directly without any cloth. Also take some anti inflammatory medicine like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac if you have taken them prior to this injury and have not shown any allergic reaction to them.
