Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
Bruise is nothing but a collection of blood following a blunt trauma. No treatment is required in most of the cases and it will subside by it own in few weeks.
As of now you can take simple analgesics like ibuprofen or aceclofenac for pain.
Apply ice packs over the area and adequate immobilization also needed.
If symptoms persist despite all these consult an orthopedic and get an MRI done.
Thanks
