What Could Bruises On Shin With Swelling Suggest?

I feel down the stairs on Saturday and hit my shin. It was really painful, bruised and swollen very badly for about 24 hours. It is now 5 days later and the bruise has spread all the way around to my calf and down to the ankle. Should I be concerned?
