Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
dear madam,
since he has a history of injury if i were your treating doctor i would examine the leg for any bony tenderness for ruling out bony injury andthen decide accordingly,
if there is no bony injury giving rest to the part and analgesics, ice fomentation would suffice, and bruise it takes time to absorb.
I find this answer helpful
