Suggest treatment for hematoma in buttock and shortness of breath
Patient: 11/3/11, fell down 1/2 flight of steps on right buttock. I was in shock and had pain up to my right chest area around ribs. Taken by ambulance to hospital. CT Scans/xrays showed to breaks or cracks. Developed grapefruit size hematoma in right buttock. Two months later still have shortness of breath and life-stopping pain in right chest. Doctor: Hello,A chest X-ray study is necessary, coupled with a thoracic spine X-ray study, in order to exclude a possible bulging disc in this level, caused by the trauma. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
