Hello,

After the injury, the periosteum may be get injured and form a swelling along with skin reactions. It may take time to recover. But you have to evaluate the possibility of tibial injury by X-ray of affected leg ap, lateral view.

Use cold and warm compression. Use NSAIDS for pain relief. Use chymoral forte tablet to reduce the swelling. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
