i got hurt in a softball game and the doctor said i had a hematoma (im not sure how to spell that) I know it's just a really really bad bruise, and now i got a big blood clot. It's on my leg. The doctor said just to soak in it warm water, but is there anything i could do to help it feel a lot better, cause it hurts really really bad and i want to play softball on monday
Answer:
A hematoma, or haematoma, is a collection of blood, generally the result of hemorrhage, or, more specifically, internal bleeding. Hematomas exist as bruises (ecchymoses), but can also develop in organs.Hematomas can gradually migrate, as the effused cells and pigment move in the connective tissue. For example, a patient who hurts the base of his thumb might cause a hematoma which will slowly move all through the finger within a week. Gravity is the main determinant of this process.Hematomas on articulations can reduce mobility of a member and present roughly the same symptoms as a fracture.Try ice fomentation, it helps. Use any anticoagulant cream or gel. It will dissolve the haematoma away. Here in India, we get an ointment called Thrombophob it is a fast acting ointment and dissolves minor haematomas really fast.
Check the brand name for this anticoagulant ointment in your medicine dispensing stores.
If it gets too painful then go to the hospital.
Follow your physician's directions on this. It is important. I did not apply heat or cold to mine when I plowed into a picnic table 17 years ago, and it healed funny, and the muscle still hurts.
If you ignore it it may not go away. Also, you're not going to play softball on Monday.
