Brief Answer:
Possible bone involvement

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but soft tissue injury doesn’t take that long to resolve which raises the suspicion in bone injury. I would recommend that you get an X-ray urgently you detect any bony fissures or fractures. I hope you find this helpful. If you don’t have any other clarifications then please close the discussion.
