Hard Lump After Injections

[oscark]

I have a very noticeable large lump at or near the site of injection.  I'm 12 days since the injections and it's still big.  Should I be concerned?  Is this normal?

Sounds like what happened to me.  Most likely an internal hematoma.  Some take a long time to heal.  I'm going on 6 weeks, and it's still there, but getting smaller every week.  I had a vein rupture, so my case is an extreme example

Hmm, definitely could be that.  I was concerned somehow that plaque had gotten larger, but of course that made no actual sense.   Thanks TDix.

Is it painful to the touch?  Mine was unbearable for a few weeks, but now is just an annoying sensitive pain, kind of like having a staple in your underwear poking you from time to time

[oscark]

Not at all painful.

hmm may not be a hematoma then.  They are very painful.  I'd have it checked out to be safe.  Could just be fluid

Tdix, I'm experiencing a hard lump at the injection site of Xiaflex. This lump feels hard like a peyronies plaque, could this be new scarring from the injection ? You are saying this could be a hematoma ? Will this lump and tenderness go away ?

[TDix]

It should, but I would monitor it.  Definitely keep your doctor involved.  Is it a painful lump?  Is it just a dense patch with not much pain?  I need a few more details

It causes pain on touching.... that area is also causing narrowing now and deformity... I had some narrowing before injection... but after injection that area is more narrow and a new large painful bump on top of it.... hoping that it will heal and go away allowing tissue to expand like before.
