Hello..
Thanks for writing to Health Care Magic,I am Dr Saleha Saeed, I will help you through your health realted issues you mentioned above.

First step in this scenario should always be seeking medical attention, In crush injuries it's always advised to get fractures ruled out.
After it is ruled out then few other measure can help one heal better.
+ Take pain killers like Exaderine or brufen for pain.
+ Icing of the area will help.
+ Wrap crepe bandage around the damaged area.
+ Take good rest.
+ Avoid putting weight on the area of damage.

It is expected to gett better with matural course of healing bruise and functionality will get back to normal soon but it is advised to get any fracture ruled out by a doctor.

I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask .
Regards
Dr.Saleha.
