General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It is just a contusion or sprain. Nothing much to worry ma you can try analgesics/antispasmodic like Aceclofenac/Baclofen for symptomatic relief:

Generally, the symptoms will settle in a couple of days without complications.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
