Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having soft tissue injury to your shin probably Hematoma. You can get your x ray done to rule out fracture. Treatment of it is icing. Analgesic such as ibuprofen can be taken for pain relief. Resting is useful. Elevation of limb over pillow is helpful in reducing swelling. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
