I am wondering if my leg is broken. i was hit by a softball and it has been bruised for over a week. i feel some pain still as well. ?

It is possible: Depending on where you were hit, it is possible to fracture your leg if there was enough force. More than likely, you just have a deep bruise from the hit. The only definitive way to rule out a fracture would be to get an x-ray of the leg.
