Hello, I had an accident at work - 48 hours ago now. I walked into a fire bucket which someone had left in a doorway - obviously the bucket didn t budge, so I fell heavily. I have a black Eye and swelling to my face. I also injured my shin and this is what is worrying me. I have swelling which covers most of the length of my shin, and there is swelling to the ankle. I can bear weight on my leg but it is painful, and the swelling shows now sign of going down. Sometimes the area even feels hot to the touch. A first aider applied ice at the time of the injury, and I have been keeping my leg raised. Is there anything else I should do? thank you
