Please help guys....soo I pinned my quad about a month ago and this friggen ball of I don't know what (oil perhaps) Is still sitting here. It has gotten smaller with my foam roller and deep tissue massage but it is still there and I am thinking I may need to get it drained? It's not infected and it doesn't hurt but I cant have a friggen ball in my leg when I need to compete on stage

What do you guys think? PS. It has gotten smaller since I took these pics. Thanks.

It's really hard to tell what that is. If that was oil in the subcutaneous layer, it should have been absorbed by now. I'd head to the doctor and tell them you bumped into something sharp/got stung by an insect/had a b-12 shot/other made up reason and see what they have to say. It might be a sterile abscess.
 
son of a bitch lol. I tried poking it with a 23g pin and drawing...all I got was blood. Potential scar tissue build up? Or sterile abscess like you said.

Yeah, don't try to drain it yourself lol. It might not even be that, it could be literally ANYTHING - so poking it with a needle could make it worse!
 
well from what Ive read absess's are warm, red, and spongy soft. This thing is like a hard coin..or welt of some sort. A little hard ball just sitting there.

Depends on what the abscess is filled with and how full it is. Automotive tires are pretty darn firm, yet they're only filled with air. It's because of the pressure (volume) of this air that makes them hard to the touch. Again though, I'm not a doctor by any means, so take what I have to say with a grain of salt here. :)
