Dear patient. First of all i hope your joint movement has returned to its full motion. If it hasn't and there still severe pain and swelling you might have a fracture for which you will need to get an xray.
However if it is infact the vein then you have nothing to worry about. It will disappear on its own by 4 weeks and if there is some stiffness and pain just ice it once a day preferably immediately after playing
