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.

Hey there! I fell of my horse and hit my leg hard... It went a bit blue and formed a bump but I assumed this was just a bruise. It's now been two months and the bump is still there and sore. Should I go see a doctor?
