How To Get Rid Off The Swelling And Pain In The Leg?

Hi, I was travelling on the bus last week and I hit the shin bone of my leg on a metal thing that was hanging out and it had gotten swollen. The swelling has gone down but it is still there and I still feel pain at times. This has been a week now. What should I do?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some bruising and blood collection at the site of injury.
Now this blood might have gravitated down causing problem.
Apply ice pack 2-3 times a day for few days.
Raise your limb up while taking rest.
Ok and take care.
