Painful Knot On Lower Leg Following An Accident. Should I See A Doctor?

Hi, Three weeks ago I had a teammate land on top of my lower leg with her knee. There was immediate swelling but I did not hear a snap or pop. The swelling has not changed at all and there is an egg sized knot. I have a lot of pain when I point my foot and if the area near the shin is touched. Should I be concerned enough to see a doctor about this or should i continue with home treatment?

Painful swelling is due collection of blood inside called haemetoma formation.
Apply ice 3 to 5 times a day.
Take nsaid with serretiopeptidase with some food or milk.
Local application of nsaid gel will be helpful to some extent.
Avoid extra movement,Take proper rest.
Start treatment under guidance of your family physician.
