Since it's been two weeks since the injury and you are still hurting I agree that you should go in and get it looked at. Interesting that you whacked your shin really hard and your ankle blew up. The fact that your ankle is involved in it when you hit your shin could mean some damage is done. I'm not sure that icing will help at this late stage, and I'm sure you've probably tried Tylenol, advil etc. I feel for ya! I hope that you can get in and get seen to make sure that there are no fractures to your leg or secondary damage to your ankle.
I hope you mend quickly and feel better soon. Btw, my mother tripped over a trailer hitch and her face met the pavement. She looked like she'd been beaten up for a few weeks.
Take care and let us know what happens

I hit my shin on a trailer hitch two weeks ago. Last week my entire shin was bruised, and my ankle was swollen. I still have a pretty substantial bump on my shin, just below the knee, along the tibia. There's pain in my ankle and sometimes my knee. Anything I can do?
