Shin pain hurts bad after getting hit by a shopping cart and it's been 5 days now and it's purple and red and hurts to walk what do i do?

Hitting a “shin” bone or tibia can be painful with the bone being close to the surface with only a thin layer of skin as protection. If you have been able to walk on the leg, chance to f the tibia are unlikely. A severe bruise with blood is not out of the possibility. You did not mention any swelling? Treat bruise with moist heat.
