Thigh Swollen After Falling Off Stairs, Instant Burning, Itchy Painful Lumps. Should I Worry ?

I fell down metal stairs about 2 weeks ago and my thigh immediately swelled and there was instant burning. I went to ER and nothing was broken. My whole leg bruised, and I have 2 painful lumps that itch and burn. It is very painful to touch. Should I be worried? How long does healing take? ER said 10-14 days to go back if still having pain?
