It appears that you have sustained a soft tissue injury from the force of the trauma. I would recommend rest, ice and pain control. For pain, You can try Ibuprofen (400-800 mg three times a day with food)- it has an anti inflammatory effect. Do not take Ibuprofen if you have a history of chronic kidney disease, bleeding from your gut or severe reflux. You can also try Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 325-650 mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Do not take more than 3,000 mg of Acetaminophen over a 24 hour period. You can take both Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen together.

If your symptoms do not improve or you have increasing pain, swelling or redness or numbness or tingling thats not improving, then please see your primary care doctor or go to the ER to have it evaluated.

Please let me know if that was helpful. Thanks!
