Bruised Muscle Of Shin, Painful, Blood Pooling In Ankle And Foot. Anything To Worry?

The side muscle of my shin was severely bruised during a moving accident where a solid wood head board fell striking mid shin muscle and sliding all the way down to my ankle..but didn't break the skin..my shin is now very pained but most worrisome to me is blood seems to be pooling in my ankle and foot..this happened 3days ago...I can touch my foot and literally see it slowly disappear ..should I be worried?

Hi, as it is has started remission, most probably there won't be a fracture. Still it is always better to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment . you may need to have an x ray for excluding any fracture.
If there is any hair line fracture you should have a plaster caste, for union of the fracture. Thank you.
