Meh - they poked me about a bit, asking what hurt and what didn't, they seemed confident it was just bruising.
I'm wary of their advice that I should exercise it and use it normally though. They (who are "they"?) said that when I was hit by a car. I went back a week later, swollen up like a ballon and black as Newgate's knocker and they admitted I should have continued with R.I.C.E. until the swelling went down.

I'm sure this should have been the same, but I've got to work, sadly. It goes down overnight as I elevate both legs on a rolled up duvet. But it swells up during the day and when I work in the pub.

I promise on Saturday, apart from going to my new house, I will spend the day with my leg elevated until I go to work. And same Sunday until 13.00 and after 17.00. I'm sure that will knock it on the head.
