Does Swollen Hand Indicate Something Serious?

I bumped the top of my hand last night, right in the middle on the corner of a shelf in my refridgerator. This morning I woke up with the top of that hand swollen and painful. I assume it's bruised and it's just a waiting game to heal, but is there any chance it could be a more pressing issue?
