Help greatly needed

[Sunny530]

I was benching and my left chest tightened up I stopped doin chest and the next day I can feel like lump on the outside of my chest. I wait a few days and it wasnt better so I go to the doctor and he says I have a hematoma. But I read up on hematomas and I do not have those symptoms. My doc has a history of being wrong. I am gonna get a MRI and ultrasound tomorrow. My question is could it be some kind of knot that hasn't loosened up yet or tendon swelling??

this is to hard for anyone to say here for sure.
your doing the right thing by having a doctor look at you and getting a second opinion.
i broke my vertabra in my back and didn't know it cause the syptoms where not typical. just get the second opinion and test results.

Yea I know I need a new doc been
saying that for awhile now lol and there's no bruising or anything like that a hematoma wud be really strange I went in expecting it to be a knot

And if the next doc doesn't sound like he knows what he's doin, see another....etc.etc. I blew a biceps tendon and it took three docs and six weeks to finally get the surgery I needed....

Yeah it's hard to find a good doctor. But the best ones r usually the ones who got their education in America this guy is from south Africa lol but I was pretty pissed off when he said hematoma so I argued with him and got an ultrasound and then go with the MRI but I jus dnt want it to mess up my cycle I wud tell this idiot I was on cycle though I get my blood tests done myself

Sounds to me like a partial tear or hopefully just a strain. Sometimes the injury is so deep the brusing shows two days later. Of course you would not exercise it.
Sounds like your doc is not sports related. A second opinion would be best.
Be patient in your recovery and rehab. It is easy to retear the same injury under a false pretense that you are fully healed.
Give us an update

Yea I will let every1 know 2maro it's been a week since it happened so idk if I will get bruising now

 

[Sunny530]

Gotmy results of the ultrasound back and the doc says it does look like there's some blood in my chest and I can go light on bench even though I feel no pain and have no bruising
