Hey
Im currently in a similar situation.
I started getting a pain in my shin after I connected with my sparring partners knee during a low kick. Ive taken my knocks before in a similar way so i just brushed it off and figured it would just be bruised. period.
Fought in a karate tournament a few days later and was repeatedly hammering my poor goju-ryu opponents with my right shin. I connected with their elbows a lot and hurt my shin again. I figured I was just hurting the same spot.
Back at Muay Thai training i felt a cold pain in my shin when i connected on that same spot. The pain was more intense than before and forced me to stop. A boxing instructor at the gym took a look and said it was a Stress Fracture and that i should get it xrayed.
So... you could either have a plain ol bump due to usual swelling... or it could be a stress fracture of sorts. The bump on my shin is from the fracture itself... hard to explain.
Ask someone about it. And get it xrayed if need be. If you continue using it you could run the risk of doing yourself more harm than good if it IS a Stress Fracture.
