bad bruising?

[sneaky]

hi all, thought i would ask here before spending $70 to see a doctor

about a week and a half ago i fell from my roof onto the top of an A frame style ladder. basically the ladder wasn't really high enough to reach roof but i had used it a few times before, i'm sure something distracted me as i was half way between the top of the ladder and the roof and as a result i fell.

so the reason for the post is - i landed on the top of the ladder with my upper leg/butt and have a really nice bruise as a result. the dark black bruise is fading, but where the middle of the bruise is/was there is a hard and painful lump still there right on/in the muscle.

never really been hurt badly before so i was wondering if this is a normal thing or not?

cheers
