i tripped and went flying forward to end up knocking my arm on a trash can. i thought it wasn't anything so i rested it and put an icepack on it, i didn't realize it was a broken blood vessel til' a family member told me about an hour after the accident. it's been about a half hour after finding out and i want to know if there's anything else i can do. now it's just a big bump on my arm that's kind of purpley and reddish.

Have you ever had a bruise? Well, that's the same thing as a broken blood vessel. When you hit something and it break blood vessels and not break the skin its called a BRUISE!
Now You know.

No, there is really nothing else you need to do. Put ice on it on and off for the first 24 hours. It will look even sorse tomorrow.
