Hi,
Thanks for the query.
You have swelling in your XXXXXXX with pain and discomfort while sitting or sleeping. – The symptoms could be inflammatory response to the injury.
You will need to apply ice or heat compresses immediately over the area to prevent further increase in swelling. Keep your leg raised and apply over 5 to 6 times. Apply a crepe bandage. Antiinflammatory drugs like Tylenol pain relief or advil twice a day might be helpful.
If the discomfort increases or if you feel the pain is unbearable you will need to do an X-ray to rule out possible hair line fracture and examination by an Orthopedician.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available for follow up queries.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
