Fall From Ladder Caused Large Hematoma On The Inner Side

Fall from ladder caused large hematoma on the inner side of the calf. Stiffness, swelling, mild pain. Foot is now swollen and discoloration is evolving... now foot is mostly black and blue after 4 days. I have been elevating and icing, now transitioning to heat. Still elevating leg . Initially bruising was confined to lower leg and foot. Now, black and blue developing upward, from the knee, up the inner side of the thigh toward the groin area. Sonogram and x-rays showed good flow, and no evidence of clotting, and no fractures. My concern: After 4 days should I not be seeing reduced swelling, and improvement? Seems like things are changing, but not improving.
