Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to blunt trauma.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
You may require X Ray of affected shin after orthopedician consultation.
You can apply heparin ointment locally. Apply ice.
Use support while walking.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
