Good Afternoon. Just An Hour Ago I Hopped Off A

Good afternoon. Just an hour ago I hopped off a pullup bar and landed on an unstable, vertical stack of 5 lb plates. The plate on top conveniently spun hard backwards and struck my shin bone with its hard edge. Now there is what feels like a substantial dent in my tibia. If there was any sort of soft tissue covering that part of the bone under the skin, it feels very much displaced if not peeled back. There is pain localized to point of impact but no real increasing pain with walking. I am currently on a very hard running and lifting plan. Should I just steam ahead or should I get this checked out?
