Hematoma treatment
Three weeks ago I crashed and, amongst other injuries, suffered a large
hematoma which initially contained an estimate of 3 units of blood( presently measuring approx. 8cm. X 11cm. ) on my upper left leg. Medical specialists have discouraged me from attempting to have it "drained". Does anyone know of treatment that might hasten its resolution? Thanks Mike |

Thanks Mike I had a very bad bruise and was told to alternate hot and cold. I put ice on in for 20 minutes or so and then took a hot bath twice a day and was amazed how fast it cleared up. Clearly your situation is worse and I don't know if it would apply, but it is an idea anyway. Pam |

Thanks Mike I am completely confused. It sounds like you received professional medial care for your injury but instead of following up with them you are asking an internet newsgroup for care suggestions. To me it make zero sense. If you don't feel that it is healing correctly I think that you should go back to your medical professional. If you need a different opinion, find another medial professional. |

No, his problem is that the medical advice is to just "wait, wait, wait" and that's hard to do for someone who is active---so he is trying to find some "folk wisdom" to speed up things. Problem is, there is no way to speed anything up. I know; been there, done that. You just have to chill and wait for it to resolve on its own. Pat in TX : : : |
