Hi!
welcome to HCM!
Most contusions are minor and heal quickly,but, severe contusions can cause deep tissue damage and can lead to complications .
Sometimes a pool of blood collects within damaged tissue, forming a lump over the injury (hematoma)Contusions cause swelling and pain near the injury. The injured muscle may feel weak and stiff. Your blue is blood outside any blood vessel and is harmless; your body will absorb this slowly over the next few weeks.

To control pain, bleeding, and inflammation, icing is good continue,keep the muscle in a gentle stretch position and Rest .If no relief then get examined by an orthopedician and get x-ray done for hip region.

take medications for pain relief.

DO NOT massage the injured area.

Take care!
