How To Treat A Leg Injury Caused By An Accident?

I was riding my bike and hit a pole and mainly my leg hit into the pole and there are green and darker colores bruises on the outside of my leg and also inside of the leg, it looks like there is internal bleeding a tiny bit on the inside bruise and the outside bruise is still swollen, when I stand still there s a very noticeable bump on my leg, the pain has gone away and the bruises are healing however there is a feeling of a vein or something popping out of my leg causing it to look like a big bump, what am I too do? Will it go away in time? This happened over a week ago!

Hi
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query and understand your concern. It seems that you are having hematoma due to injury. It will gradually resolve. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Elevation of limb is helpful in resolving the pain. Local application of Thrombophobe gel without rubbing is useful in resolving it gradually. You can discuss with your doctor about it.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
