How To Treat Tender And Painful Leg Hurt?

I hit my right leg on the corner of the coffee table very hard a few days ago right below the knee cap to the right side a bit and it hurts very bad. There is no bruise or visual injury but I am wondering if I injured tissue or bone. It is extremely tender and painful and it has been at least four days since this happened. Is an x-ray needed? Do you think it might be a tissue injury or do you think ligament or bone may be involved?
