Hit by softball on cheekbone. if it was broken/cracked would i know? hard knot, slow bruising, mild headache. 48 hrs has passed.

Softball injury: Your symptoms of pain, swelling, bruising and headache after an injury to the face could all be related to a fracture...Or maybe not! the best way to tell is to follow up with your doctor and obtain some imaging (like an x-ray). Good luck!
