Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The constant pain and the hardness in the area could be due to a soft tissue injury and a hematoma formation in the area. This is not necessarily indicative of a fracture. You need to get an X-ray done to confirm.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
