How To Treat Chronic Pain And Redness On Shin After Injury?

I was in a head on collision and the air bag at my legs deployed. I have been on several rounds of antibiotics of cellulitis , but my shins and calves are still red and warm, and I am still unsteady on my feet. Pitting edema is common and so is the chronic pain. My accident was July 9th. What should be my next step?
