Injury to Groin - Lymph Nodes Still Swollen ? Posted: 07-22-07 07:07am
I crashed on my mountain bike with my
pelvis/groin taking the full impact on the
end of my handlebars. I had a huge
bruise/swelling that covered the whole
front of my pelvis area (like wearing
underwear, it was the whole area it covers
in the front).
The bruising went away very quickly for a
bruise but a rock-hard
length-of-a-thumb-sized bit of swelling
remains. All the other swelling has
receded, so this little hot-dog of
swelling is very prominent. It is just
to the inside of the crease between my
thigh and my pelvis. I am pretty
concerned about it b/c it's been a week,
and everything else has gone away except
for this. I think my lymph nodes got
overloaded and there's a traffic jam in
there or something. Is there a way for me
to flush them out? I haven't iced at all,
and it kinda hurts to massage it.
The only other thing I can think of that
it is is when your muscle takes a hard hit
and ends up building calcium deposits at
the point of impact. But that is for more
repetitious injuries, right?

injury to groin area Posted: 07-07-08 03:25am
I have just read that you had sustained
this injury to your groin area caused by
the handlebars when you fell off your
bike. The exact same thing happened to me
last week and I too am left with a large
lump like a hot dog in the same area,
after a week,like you, most of the
swelling and bruising had gone and I was
left with this slightly painful hard lump.
Can you tell me how you are now and did
the lump go away in time. Like you I am
worried that this thing is abnormal and I
have an appointment to see the doctor
today.
Please let me know how you recovered (if
you recovered!) and what treatment you
used to achieve this.
