Shin is very pain sensitive area of the leg bone.Since you have severe pain and swelling there might probably be associated with fracture at the site of injury.If you are not able bear weight of your body or if this hampering the movement of the leg this seems more suggestive of associated fracture.Suggest you to get an X-ray of the leg with Orthopedic's opinion.I hope I have answered your question.Take care.Get well soon.
