Upper abdomen swelling after injury
Had a direct hit to my left upper abdomen about 8 months ago. At that time, I experienced severe pain at the site. and the pain gradually reduced over time.
After some months, I noticed a small swelling at the same site. Currently, there is only swelling, with no pain, no redness, no fever, and no increase in size.
I visited a local doctor and underwent an ultrasound scan.
My concerns are:
Is this condition serious?
Will the swelling reduce or go away with time?
Do I need any treatment or repeat scan?
Is observation and follow-up sufficient?

High WBC CRP and ESR infection?
WBC Tuesday Jan 6- 14.5
WbC Thursday on Jan 8 - 10.11
CRP Tuesday - 22 mg/L
CRP Thursday - 2.8 mg/DL ( increased) Sediment rate - Tuesday - 69mm/hr
Sediment rate Thursday - 65mm/hr
It started as foot pain in the second toe and followed by swelling until mid foot. Went to the doctor and they gave Cephalexin antibiotics and said it looks like cellulitis. Then I went to my regular GP. He said it looks like gout and told me to take indomethacin and colchicine. Did blood work on Jan 6.
It shows higher lab values. Pain didn't reduce and it started on the other foot too. Same toe pain(second toe) and not able to walk on both feet. went back to the hospital. They did blood work on Jan 8, and said it's not an infection. It's inflammation because those values are high and gave me steroid pills for a week Prednisone 40mg. Told me to see a rheumatologist for this. Do I have infection or inflammation?
The swelling is reduced now. No redness. But have pain on both feet. Uric acid - 5.4.

There is worm crawling feeling and sticky fluid discharge after bowel movements.
I can walk.. run..from begining of pain. I sat for 1 hour on cushion chair.. metal chair causes pain,I just can't sit on yoga posture with folded legs!very uncomfortable.
Pain is very sharp on coughing and after defecation... No improvement at all here even after 5 days. Whenever I cough I feel severe unbearable pain ..then I lie down on bed so pain settles. I can sleep without any discomfort for begining. Is it perianal abcess or thrombosed external piles based on history?
