Bruise that has developed into something else

[Narnat,]

I was out doing a bit of boating a couple of weeks ago and I went to climb out of another boat to get into mine and I banged the side of my wrist on something. I didn't hurt when I done it but when I got back to shore it really started throbbing and I ended up with a normal bruise. However it's turned into a bruise with a lump and the bruise has gotten bigger :S Any help +Rep

Is it it a hard lump ? also if it was really hard impact it could be an underlying fracture or a severe sprain
this would happen within an hour or 2 of getting the bruise though

It's probably just deep brusing coming out. It doesn't throb anymore does it?

The lump is quite hard

It does still throb even at the smallest touch like my bed covers touching it or if someone walks past me and brisk it then it throbs like hell!

I was researching this a few nights ago because I have a rather big bruise on my leg and I have no idea how it got there, there's a small lump under mine but it's fading away slowly. Anyway, I found a useful site about lumps under bruises;

Suffering a Hard Lump Under the Skin After a Bad Bruise

Most basic bruises are spread out and do not present any remarkable symptoms - that is, anything beyond the expected amount of pain and the telltale skin discoloration. Severe bruises may, from time to time, result in an uncomfortable, hard lump under the skin after a bad bruise. This is known as a hematoma.
As anyone who has suffered from them knows, hematomas may feel sponge-like, rubbery, hard or lumpy (or some combination of these characteristics). Despite how they feel, hematomas are not typically cause for concern - unless they occur on the head following a head injury. In this case, it's crucial to seek medical attention immediately. (It's important to note that a head hematoma may not occur for several weeks following the head injury, so be mindful of its potential to appear).

I'm not sure if this works but I've heard that rubbing butter on the bruise helps it to heal faster.

Well if you haven't had it checked out it might be worth it before Xmas.

Thanks this has helped a lot!

Yeh I think I might go get it checked tomorrow if I can get an appointment. Thank You! I'll give you both +Rep tomorrow and everyone else who replies.

I would get it checked out. Especially since it's casing so much pain or it's a penis growing or something. Okay serious answer, it could e a strong blood clot.

[Txyla]

Get it checked out, you don't wanna be in hospital for christmas do you?

[Arch]

If its a hard lump and it hurts alot i would def get it checked out and soon

I would defo get it checked out, you could have just briused the muscle badly and this could be scar tissue. It could also be a fracture, a similar thing happened to me but i landed on it at an odd angle first a bruise but then as you said it hurt for my bed covers to touch it. I also felt bones grinding together if i moved my wrist in a circular motion. I was in a cast for 2 weeks and then a removable one to imobilise it but not quite soo much as before. So defo get it checked out. :)

It could also be an extreme case of internal bleeding although i doubt it

In a cast ?! I can't be in a cast I have cadets and boating to be doing. And my bones grind to doesn't half make a disgusting noise! thanks for your help +Rep tomoz I ran out.

Hmm.. now thats worried me hah. I will prob go get it checked out +Rep tomoz.

You defo need to get it checked out then if your bones are grinding together. The cast is only to prevent you from damaging it more and to make sure it heals. It really is the best thing to do. I actually cried so much when they put mine on as i had just started playing rugby... in fact I did it at my first training session.
