Suggest Treatment For Swollen Foot And Bruising After Injury

I was playing soccer when I was hit pretty severely in my knee, which resulted in a spotty bruise, and it is still there after one week. Also, the top of my foot is still swollen after I was cleated, and this is after almost 6-7 weeks. Are these just normal bruises or bone bruises? Another thing - both of my shins hurt and this is after like three weeks of being told I have shin splints... but I am wondering if they are actually stress fractures?
