<human>: 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.
<bot>: 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
