Hi, I like you have a lump deep in my left buttock I believe following a heavy fall hitting my buttock hard on stone steps. That was back end of 2019, it was badly bruised. Months on into lockdown the coloured bruising went but I began getting pains in my left leg. Gradually this has got worse and I feel a dense rather than hard lump in my bum cheek which is uncomfortable to sit on. That's spread across to my anus and I now have weeping skin on my left buttock between my crease. I was nervous to go to the GP but my partner insisted. My GP referred me to the hospital both to the spinal neurologist, xray and for a skin biopsy. I've had cancer before and am now worried I may have a soft tissue sarcoma. My GP said he believes I have sciatica and a hematoma, the latter taking longer than normal to disperse, hence belt and braces to check everything out. I'll update when I know the outcome.
Meantime if you still haven't seen your GP do go and see them. Don't leave it like I have in case it gets worse. Hope all goes well. BW... MissyM
I hope you don't mind me asking but how are you getting on with your lump?
I have the same problem. I fell down the stairs in March, had a really bruised bum cheek. In October I noticed a 10p sized bump and by November it's trebled in size. I've been to the doctor. He didn't know what it was. I've had an ultrasound but they couldn't tell what it was. I'm currently waiting for the results from the MRI scan I had last week. It does worry me as it's suddenly growing so fast.
Hi crazy cat lady. Sorry to read about your fall and increasing lump. Unfortunately I haven't got any further with a diagnosis. I have had an xray which I've yet to get feedback other than a missed call from the muscular scoletal. I called them back and I was told someone would ring me for a phone consultation... I'm still waiting. I also had a colonoscopy and told I have a flat polyp across the appendix which has been referred to a team for further discussion but no one has paid any attention to my main concern regarding my buttock lump which is uncomfortable. The skin is also sore and weeps. I bought a barrier cream which soothes it. I'm no further forward with a diagnosis. I will try again after Christmas to get an MRI like you as I'm not happy with this continuing discomfort.
Do let me know how you get on with your diagnosis. I hope it's not serious and can be treated successfully. Best wishes Helen
thanks for replying, I really hope you get a diagnosis soon. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you. I'm still no further forward, called to see if my MRI results have arrived yet and nothing... don't really expect anything until the new year now
