HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such swelling could be due to soft tissue inflammation which is very common phenomenon in case of accident without the fracture, keep the leg in elevated position try some NSAID (Non Steroid Anti-inflammatory Drugs) and 'Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg" three times in day, hope this information helps, take care.
