Hello, As the mechanism of injury is direct to the side of the leg, this should be a muscle trauma. Icing will help reduce pain and swelling.  Don't do too often as it will desensitize the part which isn't good. Some sort of pain is good because it indicates there is injury and healing is happening. Also, try to keep the leg elevated over a pillow and try applying the crêpe bandage.  Wait and see if any other symptoms like skin discoloration happen. If it does then we can think of X-Ray to rule out any kind of fracture. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.
