[|Human|] Hi I m trying to get info on behalf of my mom...she s 55yrs old now and for the past 10 yrs if not more she has this strange lumps with swelling around the effected area forming after a small injury e.g. knocking her foot against the bedside table or picking up a bruise on her hand after a small knock ect. After an injury like that, she gets like an almost hardened lump which she finds very painful and which sometimes last for months before going away. A few years ago she had one of these lumps removed by a doctor and she can only describe it as dried, hardened blood being almost crumbly . The doctors never found a reason for this happening and as a result this still happens quite regularly. After time she ended up drinking loads of pain killers. She did come across some tablets which she reckoned helped quite a lot, but then after a recent serious ulcer, the doctors recommended she doesn t use these tablets anymore. Do you have any idea of what the cause of these lumps might be. I apologise for being vague, but this is the only info I have. Me and my mother lives in different countries and I m just trying to get some more info on the subject. Any help will be appreciated.
