Leg pain: This sounds like something that should be checked out. You could have developed a bloodclot or another serious condition. Get attention right away on this. Good luck

You need an exam: I'm sorry to hear of your injury! Given the amount of swelling and pain you describe, I think you should have a visit with urgent care or the ER to make sure you haven't fractured anything. Also you may have serious injury to the ligaments and tendons, sometimes those need to be treated surgically by an orthopedist. There you can get a diagnosis and medication for pain crutches and a brace if need
