My shin has been swollen for over three months, what's wrong?!


Question: My shin has been swollen for over three months, what's wrong?
Back in October (2010), I fell down a staircase with 5-6 steps. I was fine except I really slammed my shin into the edge of a step. It hurt, but I didn't think it was broken. Part of it was numb and it started to bruise. I could walk on it fine, the only place it hurt was the shin. It is now February 10th (2011) it is still swollen but over the past two days it swelled up a little more and is a little red. It also hurts a little more and is starting to hurt on the side of the calf. What's wrong with it?

Answers:

I hit my cousin in the shin with a baseball, and over a few months he developed an egg-sized lump that was some kind of cyst, which had to be removed surgically. It has probably been long enough that you need to see a doctor because it could be something like what my cousin had. If it is, it will not go away on its own.

Thats what happend to my finger but its not red
It happend In december and its still sore
