Should I Consult A Doctor For Sore Leg Which Was Hurt A Month Ago?

I hurt my knee a bit when someone well just basically ran through me-it didnt bruise too much only slightly discoloured yellow/green/blue it wasnt a strong colour but it covered a large area at the same time. Thing is where it didnt really bruise it swelled MASSIVELY. Like thats what the bruise mostly was a big swelling and little discolouration around it. Well the discolouration faded and the swelling went down but at the same time theres still a hard lump where some of the swelling was. I didnt get it checked out at the time and I ran on it afterwards despite it being as sore as fĂșck at the time. Its only slightly sore when you put pressure on it now. Should I check it out, its almost a month since I first got it, and like-its still a tad swollen.

If the swelling and pain persists even though the injury happened a month ago it is better to consult a Doctor who can examine and do the right treatment if there is any undrlying pathology.
