You can try: Icing the area to improve the swelling, taking an over the counter anti inflammatory such as Ibuprofen will also help. Should be better in a few days. Good luck!

Nerve damage??: You may have contused a nerve in your leg. You should see your family physician to rule out any other problem including bone bruise, hematoma etc.
