What Causes Swelling From The Hip To The Knee After Running?

Major bruising after marathon. I ran the NYC Marathon and went in with a sore hip. It got worse and I powered thru but two days later and I have severe bruising from hip almost to knee with swelling and pooling. Hip contusion and broken blood vessels or something more? I went to doctor and he tested hip flexibility which was good, no clicking, and no major pain points. He wasn t worried.
