Extreme bruise

[morgan123456789]

About three months ago, i got into a collision in soccer and smashed into another girl. Her knee slammed into my shin bone just below my knee.  The pain was horrible but i figured it was just a bruise and it should be gone in a week.  After about a week, my shin was still slightly discolored and i had started to loose feeling in the top layer of skin in that area.  About a week after that, a huge lump had formed and it became extremely sensitive.  About two weeks ago, i got hit there again, although not as hard, and the pain was unbearable. It felt like my leg cracked open and was bleeding inside.  It is still extremely sensitive and if i even slighty tap it, i feel the same sensation. I still have a semi-numb feeling in the top layers of skin, and a few moderately sized lumps in it. Is this noraml? should i get it checked out?
