I hit my leg/knee pretty hard, does this seem like a 'normal' bruise?...

I was playing with my dog and I jumped onto the couch. He came up with me, so when I jumped down, he lept after me and I tripped over him. I fell to the floor and momentum caused me to slide right into the wall, my entire weight scraping my knee and smashing my right leg into the corner. It swelled up, started turning red and blue, and has been hot to the touch. I couldn't walk and still can't without limping, and it's too painful to straighten my leg out. I've been icing it on and off but the swelling hasn't really gone down much. It hurts worse than any "bump" I can remember! Although, I am pretty positive that it's not broken. Does this seem like a 'normal' bruise,  or something else?

Hello~

Since it has been going on since May 6th, if it is not any better by now, I would certainly see your GP, it could be internal bruising or a bruised bone. An x-ray may be in order to determine the cause.
