Alright, so i was skiing at this rail/jump sesh in front of a Frat at my college, and i tried a 720 of a tiny ass jump . I had been doing smooth 5s all day, so i said fuck it, ill try. So i ended up landing on my hip really hard on ice. It hurt at the time, and for about 5 days it was pretty soar, but getting progressively better ( ie,,first 2 nights i couldnt sleep on it, nights after that i would wake up if it was even touched..) anyways, so i didnt think anything of it, but almost 3 weeks later, im up home from college and my mom had used my car, i go to jump in and BAM, she forgot to back the seat up and i slammed into it. The pain was alot more sharp this time, and it was way more sensitive, but in the same original spot. So i went skiing this weekend, 4 weeks later, and i was skiing switch when i hit some ice and slid out. I landed hard on my hip and slid down the hill for about 30 feet on it, so situation didnt get any better. That was friday night, today i went to the hill, took one run and had such a rough time, had to teach a few lessons for a friend because he works in the rental shop and he was stuck, so skiing for me was minimal today. Although my hip was HUGE for the past week. (im talking baseball size growth looking) it was not bruised or anything as of 12 oclock this afternoon. When i got back to my house at 4, i noticed in the shower that it was now black and blue and looked like some serious rot or something. Hospital on monday bright and early, but just for shits and giggles, what do you all think is goin on inside this hip of mine.

same thing happened to me, my hip is pretty much permanently fucked, i just bought red padded shorts, they work wonders, it still hurts if you fall on your hip, but not even close to as much as without them.
 
it might not have bruised at first because when u do damage to ur hip, like a hip fracture, its actually the top of the femur. so the bruising might have been inside u and not have made its way to teh skin
 
theres a section of my hip about the size of a baseball that's been swollen for the past year, it wont go away. i also bought padded shorts, and they help when i land on it, but it still hasent gotten any smaller.

maybe i should go to the doctor again or something..

but yah just follow what the doc says, ice it, and buy padded shorts!
 
i did the exact same thing about a month ago. it was swollen but not bruised for like a week, then fell on it and it turned black and disgisting. swollen so bad my pants didnt fit. i just let it go away on its own. the doctor said there was nothing to do. i skiped a weekend of skiing and that helped alot. the best thing i did was to put a wet washcloth in the microwave for 1:45 on high, then put that in a plastic bag and put that on my hip. i did it like twice a night and it really helped. now its like a month after and im like 90% better
 
yeah i have a softball in my hip too...i thinks its balled up scar tissue...but yeah it comes back every season when i fall
 
i did the same thing four years ago. i hit the front corner of an urban rail really hard square with my hip. i had a bruise that was like 12 inches in diameter and it swelled up to about twice the size. i went to the doctor like 2 weeks later after it was still the same size and they said that it was just brusied. it still hurts from time to time like when im getting in a car and move it wrong and sometimes when im sleeping. my hips are real messed up now from it and i know it will be giving me trouble later in life. hips arent something you want to fuck up
 
You're an idiot. Rest when your hip looks like a basketball. I have no sympathy for you. What did you think would happen?
 
your calling me an idiot? The thing was better until i fell on it again friday man, i stopped skiing after that. Im not looking for your sympathy anyway, but thanks for your pointless rant
 
I'll be another to add in the SAME thing happened to me. I ate it a few times right on my hip.. kinda below it on my thigh/ass cheek. Then I caught an edge 270n on.. and got it right to the same spot SUPER hard. It swelled/bruised from my ass to my knee. So make that a serious muscle contusion and hematoma following. A year later it is still kinda chunky.. and swells like a mofo whenever it gets hit wrong. There is a pocket in there.. any trauma and it fills right back up with fluid/blood/whatever. Seeing as how I come from a long line of Docs.. I probably shoulda had something done.. but didn't. Oh well. I wear a pad now.. but it doesn't always help.

Let us know what your doc says.. and treatment. Ask him about myositis ossificans (abnormal bone fragments develop in muscle tissue b/c of the hematoma).. b/c thats what I'm worried I have.

I'd say Ice/Anti-Inflammatories/not ski for awhile. Then pads.. and deep massaging definitely helps.
 
ya my doc said it'd be gone in 6 months.. it's almost a year and a half and there's no difference. i mean it went down a tad because when it first happened, i couldnt fit into pants for a couple days but still.
 
So i went to the Doc today, told me he though it was a severe hematoma, but he wanted to rule out a possible fracture because of the way the swelling looks. Im going back to see a bone specialist at 1:30, so hopefully he can give me some good news. Either way im out for a month he said,,guess ill have to wait and see..
 
yah i had taht huge lump on my hip and they can just drain it. Its just a build up of fluid. They said i may have chiped my hip so i just wear padded shorts.
 
Sounds like a hip pointer. If bruising is bad excess blood/fluid may accumulate which is called a hematoma, if you don't have it drained it will get eventually get hard. I also grew a third ass cheek from a fall on ice a couple seasons ago, still have a lump and now have some burton impact shorts.
 
Yeahp, doc says i have an extreme contusion and a hematoma about the size of a football that extends from my hip down my inner leg. He said to ice it whenever possible to help the blood essentially dissappear. then they want me to use heat to help with the swelling once the bleeding is stopped, and then start a 6 week session of physical therapy. Kinda shitty if you ask me. Anyways, he said a minimum of 6 weeks before im back on the snow again, and probably a few months until im back to a condition that would let me ski as hard as i want too...so my season is shot, with really nothing to show for it in regards to footage...dang........but i guess its alright as long as im not perma-fucked
 
omg i havw that right now, its like a little under my hip under m ass too. its swelled and was mad bruised, the bruise went away then i hit it again yesterday and it really hurts a lot, and its swollen. i got it from falling back on rails on that same spot like 6 times, anyways theres nothing u can do about it but it kinda sucks to sit and lean against it
 
well the doc said that if left alone, it turns to a large calcium deposite and it has to be removed under da knife. So ice that shit till the color is gone man.
 
Did you ask him about the myositis ossificans?

Oh, and I have a brand new pair of RED crash shorts that look like board shorts if anyone is interested in buying. Size L in black.. from this year.
 
he said the tramma would have to be severe, and even still, the hematoma would have to be almost completely disregarded for that to occur.

you should see this shit now though, all black and blue and yellow. And like he said it would, its like gravity pulled the blood down the inside of my leg, its all fuckin discolored now. this sucks...
 
i was at HN jumping on the tramps they have at the water ramps... came down the padding shifted off the metal frame i hit in like a sitting position and dislocated my SI joint which is in my hip and my leg was like 3-4 inches longer than the right one... i have backproblems because of it.. it sucks.
 
i was thrown on the floor onto my hip from like 6 ft. and it didnt hurt like a bruise, instead it hurt on the inside of my leg in like my groin area i couldnt walk for a week, the doctor said it was a severe bone bruise....so now if i fall on my hip i can barely walk for a few hours.....it sucks
 
dude... quit being a fucking woos and get back on that horse. I broke both my legs riding the other day and i haven't missed a day since. c'mon now dude
