I was lucky enough to get a handlebar end in the gut in an OTB fall last season at Attitash. I had a real nicely colored bruise and a lump for several months after the crash. I thought that it was never going to heal.

ER doktor sez:

Bruce said:
he lumps are probably scar tissue surrounding the remnants of your hematomas.

Hit hard = rip tissue under skin.
Bleed = fills up place where tissue ripped = hematoma.
Blood reaches tissue pressure = filters out into tissues = bruise.
Thrombin activated = the blood in the tissue cavity clots.
Plasminogen activated = clot begins to lyse over next few days.
Lysed blood oozes out from hematoma = spreading bruising.
Fibroblasts activate at surface of cavity = scar forms = fibrin.
Remodeling process = gradual softening of lump over months/years.

Either that, or it's an STD. You remember that girl you were sitting with, just after you hit your head at the Soldier Hollow IC race a couple of years ago? You know, the blonde with the tight t-shirt that said "Mountain Bikers do it in the Woods?" Man, she was hot. And when she took you into that trailer, we were just freakin. It was just before they took you away for the CAT scan. What? How could you forget that little hottie?

It might just be me, but having someone knead what could possibly be my intestines seems like a bad idea.

As in, "I don't know what it is, so I probably shouldn't put pressure on it without knowing."
