It suggests leaving them to go down on their own and massage them to reduce.
This is the complete opposite to the advice I received which was to under no circumstances massage them and to have them drained if they're large.
I ended up with one after my big crash at the start of the year and because of the pain and being unable to sleep I had it drained. Problem solved instantly and, once the bruising went, all's back to normal.
Perhaps my injury was less severe than the athletes described in the article (although I came off at 38mph and the tennis ball sized lump sounds about right), but I'm surprised by the "outlook" there - lump almost gone four years later and the area is numb
.Has anyone else had one in the past? received treatment? advice?
