What Causes Swelling And Pain In Leg After An Injury?

I fell earlier on the sidewalk pretty hard, I had a nice golf ball bump that was swollen and it bruised and swelled up instantly. The swelling has gone down but do I have anything to worry about? It is still very painful to touch and a little painful while walking on that leg.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swelling and pain in the leg after injury can be because of the impact resulting in inflamatory swelling. The other possible cause can be any injury to ligaments or a fractured bone. Nothing to be panic, consult a good general physician and get it evaluated. You need to get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. Mean while you can take analgesic with antiinflamatory drugs like ibuprofen and serratiopeptidase respectively.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
