Suggest Treatment For Severe Numbness On The Shin

I play soccer and have had impact injuries on my shins including colliding with players and even the goal posts. I have a couple of areas on my shin that have slight numbness. On my right shin specifically, there s even an area that appears to have a small scar and has little feeling. I can walk fine but pressure on the surrounding areas is painful. Is it still possible to have a stress fracture and be walking?
