Hi,
Thanks for your query,
You have shin heamatoma due to your fall & due to it you have pain & burning sensation when it touches.Usually it takes 1to 2 weeks to resolve.
Still for a better carefulness you just check your knee movements.you can take load on that knee or not.If you can then take some anti inflammatory medicines for 3 days.i think that will resolve your problem.
