Leg injury

On Friday afternoon I was leaning up against a mid-thigh height unit with a lip shelf. My dh and 12 year old dd were messing around with their arms wrapped around one another and fell with both their full-weight crushing me and bending me forwards across the unit.
It was searingly painful on my right leg. I was very shocked, felt sick, couldn't move for quite some time.
It is still very painful. I can't fully weight bear. If I try my leg gives out. I can't flex my leg very easily or at all past a certain point. Some slight bruising came out yesterday and the lower half of my thigh is pretty swollen.
Logic tells me it must just be badly bruised (except that there is hardly any bruising) but it is debilitatingly painful.
Has anyone done anything similar? Is there anything I should do other than anti-inflammatories, rest and ice?
Thanks

Seek medical attention.

It sounds like you need to see a doctor and possibly have an X-ray.

I agree, that sounds like it needs to get checked it and probably x-rayed.
