Suggest Treatment For Swollen Ankles

I hit my calf with a hammer over 10 mths ago. I though it would be a bruise and then go away. For the last 2/3 months my calf to my ankle swells one solid size everyday and only goes down at night once I elevate it. Do you think there is a blood clot in my calf and/or how should I treat it

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, chances of formation of blood clot is very likely and it could be orthopedic injury too and it is the time for investigation instead of trying anything, care need to be taken for infection now hope this information helps.
