[|Human|] Hello,I m a 38 year old caucasian male. I was in a bicycle accident on Saturday Feb.14th and I smacked my hip on the street very hard. My hip and thigh are now severely bruised and discolored, which I know is normal. I ve been icing it off and on ever since the accident, but unfortunately I ve been working as well. My main concern is that there is a bunch of fluid that has built up directly over my hip bone. the fluid is directly under my skin and starts at my hip bone ane spreads to my upper thigh. (About a 4 diameter) I m not sure if that s normal and if I should be overly concerned about that. Do I keep icing it? Will the fluid eventually drain out or do I need to have it drained? What is the best remedy to alleviate the bruising? Thank you,Clint
