Is Swelling From Knee To Foot With Ecchymosis Of Ankle After A Fall Normal?

I fell against the rung of a ladder 9 days ago, sustaining injury to my proximal tibia (periosteal injury). Immediate swelling occured. For then past few days I have swelling from knee to foot with ecchymosis of ankle. Is this to be expected? Elevation improves swelling.
