What Causes Bump And Bruise On Shin Bone While Recovering From Injury?

Hello, I fell and hit my shin bone two weeks ago. I had skinned knees but that has healed. I have now a bump on my shin bone and bruising still. I can easily walk on it but the pain wakes me in the night. So you think I should see a doctor about it or is it just the natural course of healing?

Because of he fall this must have caused soft tissue injuries in my opinion it would be better to get done the x-ray to ruled out the possibility of hair line fracture, else this would be fine soon, for the pain Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day can be taken, hope this information helps, take care.
