Shin pain/possible fracture?

2017-09-20 00:36:01
About two weeks ago, a heavy object fell on my shin and left a noticable mark, as well as a bruise around the mark. The bruise has since healed, but the mark is still there. However, I've had some severe pain in the area since it happened. It has gotten better, but is still quite sore. It is numb on one side when I touch it.
