Should i see a doctor for a hematoma on my shin? it's been 2 months since the injury, there is still a visible lump, tenderness, and numbness.

Observation: If symptoms and swelling are improving, I recommend observation. If no improvement in symptoms at all, then need further work up.

Follow up: 2 months is a longtime for these symptoms. It is possible you may have an underlying fracture. See your doctor and consider an XR.
