Gail, that could be any number of things. I have always heard that ice right after the injury and heat thereafter is the way to go. If the swelling and pain don't go away soon you definitely want to see a doctor. A little pain is ok but swollen and sore to the point where you can barely walk is not normal. As you said it could be a blood vessel or a ligament - or it could be a stress fracture or something equally yucky. Anyway, see a professional, take care and see you at the races! P 1
