How can I best get rid of a goose egg bump?
Later I was in the pool, and it was a large bump, but still ok, then when I got home and walked around a bit, it grew to about golf-ball sized.
I've been icing it periodically... any way to make it go away faster?
Bad thing is, I have to be on my feet for six hours tomorrow at work.
My mom and aunt say it's a hematoma, which is supposedly "a bruise on steroids".
it hurts, but not anymore than a regular run-of-the-mill injury. It's just freaking me out because it's so huge :(
Answer:
GREETINGS< ice is your best bed, on 5-10 mins of every waking hour, elevate your leg overnight with a pillow under the knee, and if you have any cooling gel like menthol. It will be ok might not be gone tomm but better. tomm use heat, hot shower water, soaking it in warm water to break up the bruise. If you have arnica gel that helps too for the next day.
only time will heal
