Hello,
I have studied your case. I think you have developed haematoma in the thigh. It is collection of the blood due to injury and it is causing you trouble. I have following suggestions for you.
1.Hot water fomentation
2.Antibiotic daily.
3.Elastocrape bandage
4.Bed rest and do not walk for long duration
I hope these steps will help you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
