Are hematomas difficult to find on an MRI?


Posted by JenAlyzabeth

Shortly after and auto accident I began developing an excrutiating pain in my leg... I quickly became a daily visitor the the ER and my "specialist" insisted that I had simply pulled a muscle. The pain however got worse by the day and I had to begin sleeping on the living room floor because I could not get up and down the stairs and eventually could not walk at all. After many many visits and a concoction of pain killers, muscle relaxers and sleeping pills I began getting extremely ill and my "Dr" still insisted that I had pulled a muscle. Nearly two months later my "pulled muscle", turned out to be a 19cm hematoma in my thigh that, as a result of time, abcessed and turned into a staph infection.... Is this an excusable thing to miss or is it just my opinion?
