Should I Be Concerned For A Bulge And Swelling In My Vein?

I knocked my hand at work today and the vein on the back of my hand bulges out and swelled to about the size of 10c piece. I had a day procedure last week where the needle was put into this same vein. Is it anything to worry about or have I just busted the vein? Sore to touch like a bruise.
