What Is The Recovering Time As I Am Having Bruising, Lump And A Little Fluid In Flesh After A Fall?

I picked up a football injury a week ago. One of the players ran into me at speed with his knee smashing into the area at the top of my hip. I was in a fair bit of pain but slowly better each day although today its more tender. Initially no marks on skin but in last couple of days bruising is now coming out of area. Feels a bit of a lump too and maybe a little fluid in flesh? Any ideas what's happended and how long to recover. Still sore to cough or sneeze.

Hi.
If the pain and soreness is so much even after a week, it would be wise to undergo an ultrasound to see the exact nature of the lesion, collection , muscle damage and all.
Usually it takes about 3 weeks for a good recovery if there is no attendant complication; already one week , only two weeks to go.
Take an opinion of an Orthopedic Surgeon.
Follow the advise and medicines as per his advise as he is going to have a direct clinical examination.
