Suggest Treatment For Bruise And Swelling In Lower Leg Caused After Injury

I am a 70 year old male. After a baseball hit my shin in early June, my ankle and lower leg were badly bruised and swollen. The bruising is gone but the swelling and pain persist. Wearing a compression stocking and elevating my leg help somewhat, but only temporarily.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you have not gone through the x-ray study then better to get it done to ruled out the fracture and malunion, soft tissue inflammation could be the cause, keep the leg in elevated position hope this information may helps, take care and have a nice day.
