Thank you for your answer and concern. I assume no medical attention is necessary unless I develop serious pain or increased swelling?
Brief Answer:
This should subside on its own in few days.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The bruise and mild swelling is likely to reduce on its own with rest, icing and pain killers in a week. In case the pain or swelling increases then do consult an orthopedician for a direct examination.
