Two weeks post crash, the road rash is healed, the bruising is almost gone, but I still have an big lump on the outside of my thigh. I hate it because it looks like an extra enormous saddlebag, out of proportion with the regular big one I have on the other side It's not really painful, except if I accidentally walk into something.

I'm using Traumeel homeopathic gel and drops. A bit of self-massage beyond rubbing the gel in two or three times a day. Electro-stim (the kind you can get OTC in the US, sold for muscle building but it's been really effective for me in the past for reducing swelling). Avoiding running and minimizing high-impact moves in my aerobics classes.

Any suggestions for getting the swelling to go down quicker? Hot compresses? Should I go ahead and do high-impact exercise to try and shake the fluid out?

TIA, you guys are terrific!
