Could I have fractured my tibia/shin?

Over a week ago I was playing soccer and collided with a man when going in for the ball (I am a goalkeeper). I was kicked in the stomach and also the leg. The pain was a sharp pain and I was not able to put weight on my leg. My shin has been swollen since, bruised all the way from my knee to my foot, and still hurts to put weight on it and walk normally. I cannot run and there is pain when walking on any hard surface. The area is also numb to the touch. Is this most likely just a bruise or should I see a medical provider for an x-ray?
 
I'd have it looked at. It might not be fully fractured, but could have hairline fractures that'll only get worse if not properly nursed to health.
