What Causes Swelling And Severe Bruising On Leg?

Long story short, I had a pool ball in my pocket and I tripped and fell on it 4 days ago - at first it wasn t swollen, but by the second day, my leg had swollen and a bruise had begun to appear. In that time, a swath of skin just to the side and underneath the bruise had gone numb, and I ve been feeling a sharp, almost burning pain if I touch part of the bruise, even lightly. I can walk, but it feels like I ve got a cramp going through my quad whenever I do, and stepping heavily is jarring. My roommate said the numbness may be due to the swelling, but wouldn t the swelling have gone down by now? I ve done what my sports coach suggested after bad bruising (ice, compression, elevation), but it doesn t seem to be helping.
