Many things. : It could be none, tendon, muscle or clotted blood. Without a physical exam and likely some imaging studies it's impossible to tell. See your dr

Knot now.: An immediate swell demonstrates tissue damage. The injury is best treated with ice and elevation. If the swelling goes down and there is no residual pain, you'll be fine. If the pain does not subside, you will need to have it examined.
