Hello,
I have studied your case. I think you may have developed hematoma in breast or a rib injury.I would suggest you to get ultrasound of the breast and a chest x ray to confirm the diagnosis. if there is rib fracture than it will take some time in healing. Some time it can be up to six weeks.
If there is only soft tissue injuries than you can take brufen tablet for pain relief along with hot water fomentation.
I hope this answer will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
I find this answer helpful
