Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you have got injury to your shin and got Hematoma. There nothing to worry. Hematoma gradually resolve. You require rest. You should avoid playing for nearly 3 weeks. Analgesic such as ibuprofen are needed for pain relief. You can get your x ray done to exclude fracture. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
