Lump after ablation

[marleyslady]

So i had cardiac ablation on Aug 23rd,had a hematoma kept me overnight in hospital.I noticed that I have a grapefruit sized lump on my inner upper leg,could it be a hematoma after all this time? My leg also bruised and swelled up a lot.

Hi Marleyslady, we are not medically trained on this site but I strongly recommend you go to your GP and have it checked out and put your mind to rest.

Either talk to your GP or the arrhythmia nurse where you had the ablation. Hard lumps are common for a few weeks post ablation but golf ball size not grapefruit which sounds huge. It is early days still mind.

I was told if the bruise is bigger than a hand then it could be an internal bleed? I had one that went right down to my knee. Doctor put pressure on and it went down afterwards.

I had lump for quite some time but not grapefruit size I was also black from thigh to knee all round my leg . If I was you I'd probably get someone to look at it for peace of mind . After all we can't see it or diagnose as not qualified
