Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.It seems to be hematoma. It will gradually reduce by due course of time. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamins B and C help in healing. It doesn't seem me to be fracture but it can be confirmed by x Ray. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
