What Causes Swelling And Pain On Eyebrow Bone?

I got hit on the eyebrow Sunday morning by my 50 lb lab when she leaped onto the couch and I bent over to straighten her rub. My eyebrow immediately got a large lump on it and as the day went on my coloring started under the brow bone with light blue and then started around the outside corner of the eyelid and turned the darkest purple black I have ever seen. It has progressed across the whole eyelid and around both corners - all in this color - under the brow just started to fill in green and I have the purple/black bruise under my yee that looks like a football player. I ve been to the eye doctor who says everything with the eye is fine,but now it feels swollen all the time - it didn t feel like that before - and the pain is very intense when I brush against that brow bone. Is there anything I should be watching for as this progresses?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

The appearance of the swelling and associated color changes are suggestive of a hematoma formation in the area. This can happen due to an injury in the area or weak blood vessel wall. This usually resolves on its own.

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

Regards,
