This also happened days ago so i got a little concerned that it might be bad. I just didnt know if it can be bad to have a pain like that. Like a blood clot or something odd lol.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
From your description, it seems that there might be a minor bony injury- maybe a hair line fracture causing a hematoma in the area. You need to get the X-ray of the area done for proper diagnosis. Icing the area till then will help.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
