I fell last week and landed on the palm of my hand and elbow, they all swelled immediately and bruised badly, the swelling is gone but still bruised?

Hematomas: Often, physical trauma is associated with bleeding within the tissue itself rather than releasing blood outsde the skin. The resulting blood accumulation within the soft tissue is what we call "bruise" (blue color of stagnant blood). This may take days or weeks to resolve
