I tripped and hit my shin 2 days ago, it left a large dint and a numb patch all around it, is it bad that it is still numb? should i get it checked?

Give it more time...: I am assuming that you are able to walk without any issues and you are otherwise healthy.. No diabetes, no high blood pressure etc. Usually this kind of injury does not lead to permanent damage and even if there is a patch of numbness, it tends to go away. Warm compresses to the area will result in early resolution of the issue. Good luck.
