Suggest Treatment For Internal Bleeding

I hit the vein right near my ankle bone on aug 22 on my bike hub (ie sharp metal point). It was immediately hugely swollen, blackening and painful. Clearly bleeding internally. Ice no help to swelling or pain. Tennis ball sized blood pool area below ankle for about a week. Has never stopped hurting, though swelling of vein reduced to a single round (pencil erasersized) lump that is hard. It is very delicate and slightest pressure reactivates it. Tonight knocked it slightly with cupboard door (glancing it while opening cupboard, would never normally hurt) and it feels like it's starting over. Is there anything I should be doing to help it?
