      Just a quick question. I was dx with stage 1b melanoma mid December on my right outter thigh. I had a wle and SNB done on 12/29.SNB was negative with clear margins. For a few weeks now mu right hip has felt swollen and bruised, but you cant see anything (besides my stretch marks). It almost feels like i ran into the side of a counter or something, but i havent. Any thoughts? Could this have anything to do with healing? Thanks!

          Maybe it's just muscle strain/tendon strain or brusing from the surgery. My surgery was on my lower leg and I still have a bruised feeling near the incision where the skin was pulled over to close up the incision. There's no noticeable bruise but it's sore and I know it was a deep surgery. My surgery was about 2 months ago. You could mention it to your doctor.
