I understand your situation
you got hard painful lump after trauma
Diagnosis:its most probably a sub-periosteal hematoma formation due to direct trauma to your shin then gradually became harden due to fibroses.
it will be painful due to movement and touching
Treatment:you can let it and apply gentle pressure over it with taking topical or oral painkillers
if no benefit you can excised by surgery by specialist.
