A member asked:
I've had a hematoma from a car accident on my thigh for almost a year now, we are thinking of getting it drained.. any thoughts ?

Unusual: Usually hematoma would have resolved by now. Thus I suspect that the problem may be from scar tissue instead of a hematoma. Even if it were, you would not be able to drain it especially after a year has passed.
