Suggest Treatment For Tenderness Of Shin And Bruises After A Fall

Hi I fell down some steps and landed on concrete on my shin 8 days ago. My shin is still tender but the bruise seems to be getting bigger every day. My ankle is very bruised looking today although doesn t really hurt to touch. Is this a normal progression of a bruise after falling hard?
