What Causes Persistent Pain On Right Breast After Injury?

I was closing my automatic umbrella then the handle accidentally slipped my hand and then the handle hit my right boobs HARD! i think its been 2 weeks since it happened and now, i feel my right boob is aching. I need advice about this. Is this just caused by the trauma or something serious? ( i hope not) can i use warm compress to lighten the pain?

A breast injury can prove extremely painful. During the injury, damage to breast tissues breaks open blood vessels and damages the structure of the breast, leading to a inflammation, swelling and pain. In extreme cases, breast injury can even lead to fat necrosis and lump formation in the breast, as well as the formation of scar tissue. A few simple steps to prevent and treat inflammation and swelling can relieve pain following a breast injury.
A simple treatment to help treat and prevent breast pain following injury is to apply a cold compress. Following injury, blood pools at the trauma site and stimulates an inflammatory response, which contributes to the pain experienced.
