On And Off Pain And Tender Bump On Head Due To Fall Of Vacuum On The Head. Serious?

Almost 2 months ago, an upright vacuum fell on the left side of my head as I cleaned. No vision loss, no slurring or speech, no blackout, no memory loss. There was a bump and some pain. I took ibuprofen and put ice in it regularly.
It feels like I still have a bump and some pain every so often at different points of the day. The spot is still tender to the touch when I'm in pain. Should I go to the ER or is this normal?
