Local contusion.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
In my opinion, first you have to use ice on it for 48 hours maximally.
If symptoms persist more than a couple of days, you should consider consult with a Orthopedic surgeon.
NSAID drugs such Ibuprofen help improve the symptoms.
