X ray time. : A kick is unlikely to break your leg, but get an x ray to be sure. Also, don't walk on it until you know its okay. Get to a doctor asap.

Hematoma: If you are able to weight bear without a lot of pain, probably don't fracture tibia. If pain unremitting, have an x-ray to make sure. If no fracture, localized swelling may be from a collection of blood under the periosteum. Ice, compression may help.
