Hi there!
What I understand from your description is that you had a quad injury about four months back and no appreciable defect was diagnosed at that time. Now, about 3 months and a week later, you developed a bruise that healed by itself and then recurred in the absence of any trauma and your quad seems to have lost its tone. Well, localized bruise without trauma if often indicative of a previous injury that has failed to heal completely to get re-traumatized, a connective tissue disorder or a recently developed bleeding tendency. Localised loss of hair over the region could occur with superficial/ deep infections/ inflammations etc. Without an examination and probably a few tests it would be difficult to point a single cause. I wonder if your evaluations by the two doctors were recent or done at the time of injury. I would suggest a re-evaluation by an orthopedician/ sports medicine doctor including blood flow studies in the limb. After an attributable cause is found, it can be managed accordingly.
Hope this was useful.
Take care!
Wouldn't the quad of the MRI shown the hematoma? Or can this be missed? Why would the hair in this spot have fallen out and even after it bursted under the skin the pain was still there and days after the bruise went away it was back to the same thing.
Hi,
It seems that you had hematoma after hit, it got infected and afterward it burst open.
Go for X-ray and rule out injury to the bone.
Go for antibiotic course and regular dressing.
