I pinched my arm in a door, its swollen, bruised, with a lump. it doesn't hurt, but is there any reason to see a doctor?

Depends. : It can be a simple hematoma. Just like a internal bruising. Or sometimes slight simple fracture also. X-ray can be helpful. But it doesn't seem like it. Ice it and see next day or so
