Hi
Thanks for writing
My advice for you would be Ice fomentation, rest, limb elevation along with compression bandage. Take tab. Ibuprofen and Trypsin/chymotrypsin to reduce pain and swelling. This bruise and swelling usually takes 10-15 days in a no fracture case.
The best way to rule out fracture is by x ray and nothing else.
Take care
