Pain in lower leg and ankle

Question

Asked for Female, 34 Years

Ten days ago I was hit in the shin with a softball coming in at around 60 mph. A knot instantly formed but the pain was bearable. Over the past three days the bruising has spread down my leg and into my ankle. The outer side if my leg and my ankle feel very tight. The location where the ball hit is caved in and has several pointy knots. The pain has gotten much worse over the past 24 hours.
