Probably it's a bone bruise!. They really really hurt!. Here is a link that tells how long it takes to heal up!.!.!. it says a few days to a few weeks!. I have seen them take considerably longer if you keep irritating it!. If it's not better in a month, I would check with a doctor about it!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
This may be a calcified bruise!. Basically if you get a bad bruise it can "calcify" and become hard like bone!. If this is the case (and I'm not entirely sure it is), you need to massage that bump out!. Not too hard but just work at it for a while (a week or two) and it should loosen up and disintegrate!. But check with a docter or trainer to make sure that's the problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
