lower leg pain...need ionfo please!

[mrswhitt]

I jumped off my horse last Sunday while being attacked by hornets and my leg has been hurting to the point of not being able to walk good and now it is bruised in several places on the outside of my shin and I can't get it to stop aching . Do you think it might be a sprain? or something more serious

It could be a sprain yes, but there are other things it could also be.

Where is the pain and the bruising exactly? When does it hurt i.e. all day, evenings/mornings and are there any activities or movements which make it hurt? Is there any swelling?

Sorry about all the questions! But to get an idea of what is going on it is helpful to have some more information
