Hi,

As you have given the history of a fall, I will suggest you to do hot and cold therapy ( do take a bucket of luke warm water and another of cold water, dip your leg in hot water for three mins then dip in cold water for one minute, do it 7-10 times) and along with it keep your legs elevated. Do minimal walking and apply crepe bandaging, sit with leg straight so that your leg don't go into numbness.

Hope you will find the answer useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
