Shin takes a while: The front part of the leg can bruise easily and can form a hematoma with blood.I would see a primary md to take a look at it.The collection of blood will unlikely form a clot to go else where in your body but swelling pushing on a nerve causing numbness happens at times.

I was in an auto accident 9 weeks ago and basically shattered my pelvis. I have surgery and had pins out in and I'm still non weight barring. I'm having a burning sensation in my hip when I put my leg up and I'm not sure what could cause it.
