What Causes Swelling And Numbness In Shin?

This morning I fell down the stairs and 9 hours later my leg is swollen significantly, and there s a small bruise, that is getting larger, a large scrape, and the whole shin is swollen and has a numb feeling. Is it something to walk off or should I get it checked out?
