X ray: A simple bruise should not take this long to heal. Get an X Ray done to rule out an underlying fracture.

You are right: You are right in saying that a simple bone bruise would likely be getting better after two months and not likely getting worse. You may need a followup appointment and potentially further studies to reevaluate the initial diagnosis.
