I am a 37 year old man and I got hit by a lacrosse shot two weeks ago tomorrow. It is still pretty tender to the touch and hurts enough that I cannot run and also still have some pain walking. I am concerned that two weeks might not be normal for a bruise to still be hurting. Thinking it might be a bone bruise based on what I have been reading. I am wondering if there other concerns that might warrant a doctors visit. I got hit near my knee and it is mainly hurting in my calf down to the ankle.
