I rested my leg for 3 consecutive days by elevating it. I applied a cold towel to try and stem the swelling in my lower leg.

I have returned to work and now have ongoing pain, bruising and swelling.  I try to elevate my leg as much as possible at work as well as at home. Is there anything else I can be doing to recover from this injury and heal quicker.
