I fell off a ladder on Saturday not a big fall bout eight feet,onto wooden decking.When I checked myself over I had two swellings on my left leg,one was quiet large bout the size of a tennis ball, the other was just below the knee bout the size of a ping pong ball. I have`nt been to the doctor yet and both swellings have reduced in size and the leg is full of bruising,all I need to know is how long will it take for the swelling to go down ( I think the rungs of the ladder landed on top of my leg when I fell ).
