Suggest Treatment For A Bump And Bruise Below The Knee

I had a basketball practice yerstesay and a girl plough into me. It hurted so bad for about 2 minutes. When I came back home, I took a nap and then when I woke up I had a bruise and a big bump below my knee. It was kinda difficult to walk at first, but it got better after. I didn t go to the doctor but I put ice on it, but it doesn t seem to cure. Should I get crutch or should I do something to help it heal faster?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi you had an injury below your knee on direct collision with a bruise and difficulty in walking. You had done the right thing to put ice on it. I think that it is a blunt injury in the leg causing local hematoma. I would suggest now hot fomentation , Pain killers and local support for 10 days and if no relief then go for x rays.
