I Hit My Shin By Falling With All My Body

I hit my shin by falling with all my body weight on to a skinny metal bar. When I looked at it right away it had two very large bumps. It also had ripped away layers of skin for about a 6 inch span. It took a good 5 minutes before I could apply any pressure standing. It immediately swelled and remains very swollen today. It is painful to walk, but I can. It is very painful to the touch, even clothing. I'm not one to run to the doctor but after having 4 shoulder surgeries in a 9 month span I don't want to mis treat this. Is it possible to fracture the tibia and still be able to walk? Should I get this x rayed or just give it some time? Thank you for the advice as we are headed in to the weekend...
