I have surface numbness \u0026 pain when direct pressure is placed on the base of my knee/top of shin; hit my leg on a cement wall 3 months ago, shin chip?

Leg Injury: Blunt trauma to the leg that has now resulted in numbness may just be the result of soft tissue injury however a small fracture cannot be ruled out unless an X-ray is done.
