Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a muscle contusion. I suggest resting. Protect your injury from further damage by stopping unnecessary physical activity.
Apply ice to your injury to reduce pain, swelling, and bleeding. Wrap the bruising with a bandage to provide additional support.
Use anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
