Hi...
Direct trauma to leg can cause minor fracture of tibia/fibula ( leg bones).
with small fracture line the person can walk but pain will persists. it has high chance of worsening into a complete fracture line and if such thing occurs then surgery is the main stay of treatment.
now ans to your qn:
it is advisable to conform the diagnosis by doing x-ray leg.
if no fracture then rest and painkiller will the line of treatment but if fracture line present then treatment is altered accordingly.
in mean time immobilize the limb do not bear weight on it take pain killer for pain and visit a hospital.
