What Causes Lump On The Calf Along With Tingling Sensation In Foot?

I suffered a blunt trauma today to my shin. Within 30 minutes, a large lump (I m guessing hematoma) developed over the shin. It s about the size of my upper calf. I ve been on the couch using elevation and ice compresses for about 7 hours. Now, I m feeling tingling and numbness in my foot as well as burning around the edges of the bump. Should I go have it examined?
