Hi Sally,
I understand your concern.
In my suggestion, you need to get the affected part X-rayed and look for underlying pathology.
A hematoma occurring after an injury or fall does not last this longer. There might be some other secondary pathology underneath.
Please get it x-rayed and examined by your doctor again.
Also, take effective anti-inflammatory drugs like Chlorzoxazone and Diclofenac combination along with Chymoral forte for faster healing.
I wish you quick recovery.
Regards,
