What Does Swelling In The Arm Indicate After The Injury?

I was in a small car accident two days ago and bumped my arm. It s slightly bruised, only tender to the touch, and i still have full function, but there is a decent sized lump that hasn t gone away and swelling won t go down despite icing on and off. Do i have cause for concern?

Hi,
From history as movements on affected part are normal there is possibility of formation of hematoma following injury.
Continue ice pack 2-3 times a day for few days.
Gradually it will absorbed.
Ok and take care.
