How do you feel : Now? Is the swelling and pain better? Do you have any prior injury at the area? If no prior injury and the prior signs are at the calf, you may have a deep vein thrombosis. Keep leg elevated and see a physician asap. A simple doppler ultrasound will help to r/o superficial vs deep cases.

Yes: Sounds like a broken blood vessel. Think back if you got hit in that area. Ap classes do strange things to people. Sorry for the humor!
