Experiencing Pain In The Calf After Having An Injury

About 1 month ago I hit the calf of my leg really hard. It hurt for about 1 day then stopped. After about 2 weeks it started hurting again and still hurts pretty bad. I have tried rubs also ice a couple times. Any suggestions? There has not been any discoloration.
