I was standing on a chair and fell, hitting my shin on a metal bar. two weeks later it is still swollen with a numb spot, and now my whole shin is itchy. is this something i should get checked out?

Not at this time: You sustained a bad bruise, but the chance of a fracture is very low. As long as you can bear weight, local treatment for your symptoms is warranted. An ice pack along with some over the counter cortisone lotion would be very helpful.
