How To Treat Ankle And Leg Injury?

I fell in 5 inch heels almost two weeks ago..i hit my tibia hard. It swelled up the first day and barely could walk. By day 2 the swelling went down. Now over the last week bruising is occurring..today my whole inner ankle and front of my leg is black and blue. Is this normal?
