Hi folks. Had a fall and went down quite heavy on my hip. It bruised quite badly and i had a very swollen bursa sac (so i'd been told by someone in the group). 10 days on and the pain has went away but the swelling is still there.. Is this common place? :?

    Maybe go to the GP rather than ask strangers on here ?

    Sometimes the fluid doesn't get re-absorbed. Happened to me a few years ago when playing rugby and the doctor just used a syringe to draw the fluid off.

    Turns out i didn't manage to get all the remnants of the road out of the wound - it had became infected. Course of antibiotics were required. :(
