How Long Will It Take To Heal Swollen Bruise On Hip Due To Fall?

I fell off my counter and hit my hip on the fridge and counter top in my way down. The bruise is red in a small part then kind of swollen along with a burning feeling. It does not look to be broken. So what is the burning caused from and when should the burning pain seize up?

HI, the bruise is due to blood collection and depending on the amount of blood, it may take anything between 1 to 6 weeks, but with time the pain will be less, and that is the sign of healing.
