Is It To Be Concerned About The Swelling In The Shin?

Good Evening: Tonight my little girl hit a softball off my left shin bone while I was pitching to her. The swelling is the size of a grapefruit. Other than the pain I am not having any trouble walking. The olnly thing that concerns is the amount of swelling. It almost looks like I have the gout. Sjould I be concerned?
