Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
well,sometimes more than 6 weeks is neccesary till swelling and oedema after injury subside. if it lasts more than this then there could be posttraumatic fibreoma and in this case it may be permanent and only surgery can remove it. so consult your doctor about it.
Wish you good health. Regards
