Sore leg

Sore leg

A couple of weeks ago I ran full pelt into a wooden bench and hit the SIDE of my left leg, a couple of inches below my knee. It swelled up like a large orange and was very painful. The bruising has been extensive, running from just below my knee to my ankle and covering most of the side of my leg and my entire shin. For 10 to 12 days I couldn't sit on my leg or put weight on it when sitting but I can walk with no problems at all and it doesn't hurt to stand on. I have started running again but each time I run my leg aches and I get fresh bruising down my leg.

It is tender around the top of my fibula and there is still a hard swelling. Could I have done something more serious. I can't understand why the bleeding was so extensive, and don't know if I should be running on it.

Thanks.
