Biopsy bruising - how long does it take to go away?

Hi 

I had a core biopsy on my breast 13 days ago, the outside incision healed very quickly but the internal bruising and swelling of the fibroadenoma is showing no sign of clearing up yet. Does anyone have any idea how long this can take to go away? Its still sore to touch but I did expect it to be tender for a while. 

Thanks x
