Hello,

It may be due to blunt trauma.

For further assessment, you may require X-ray, ultrasound Doppler of the leg after surgeon consultation.

For pain, you can take tablet acetaminophen.

Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition.

Restrict your movements.

Use support while walking.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician
