Answer #5

I agree with up2nogood. This sounds like a contusion. Breaks would swell and turn, like, black… Sprains don’t happen from hitting it. So I would say it’s either a dislocation or a contusion. If I were you, I’d pop two aleve, chill in front of the tv with an ice pack, and eat some comfort food for a couple days whenever possible.

Answer #6
