Ouch, heal up fast.
Doesn't sound as if you were treated very fairly, Someone with more knowledge might know better but my understanding is that if they ask and you agree to a search it's not the same rules as a stop and search so nothing has to be recorded, sounds like they took advantage of your dazed state to get away with it.
There should be a duty of care towards the more vulnerable road user, from cars to bikes to peds, but that doesn't excuse the way your case was handled.
