Bruise/tear: You could have bruised the muscle or torn a ligament or tendon. If the pain is not severe then keeping a bandage on it and propping it up when you can may help keep the swelling down. If it is very painful you may need to get an xray to make sure you did not chip a bone. I hope it is better soon.
