Suggest Remedy For Swelling On Shin Post Injury

Ran into a metal bench pretty hard while going for a frisbee and hit my shin. I could see a visible dent for a couple of minutes then it swelled up big time. It s been a while and it still hurts to walk on and to touch. Is it fractured or just bruised??
