Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
It is very obvious from the description that you have suffered a
soft tissue contusion. As you are walking normally, Xray of the injured area is not necessary.
The general treatment guidelines are as follows -
* Give rest to the injured part and don't do any activities which produces pain
* Keep your leg in elevation most of the time
* Wrap an elastic compression bandage around the injured area
* Ice pack the area once in 2-3 hours
* Gentle
massage of the area with pain killer creams will help in reducing the pain & inflammation.
* Once the acute pain subsides, apply moist heat fomentation over the area to relax the underlying muscles.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
