Treatment For Swelling In Ankle, Bruise And Tightness In Calf

I was hit in the inside part of my calf just below my knee with a softball. A goose egg appeared but no bruising for about a day. Now i have bruising down the leg with tightness in the calf and swelling in the ankle. I have had injuries like this before but never with the tightness in the calf?

Dear Sir/Madam,
I thank you for having faith in Health Care magic and for seeking help on your issue; I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion, apply ice over the area, take Tab Paracetamol 500 mg three times a day, apply local diclofenac ointment on the area do not rub, just gentle application is alright. give it some time to heal it will gradually vanish away.
I hope I have been able to provide you with a satisfactory solution, if you want to clear any doubts about my opinion, feel free to contact.
Special note- Any medication prescribed needs to be taken after consultation with your personal doctor only.
Thanks
