Replying to More than just shinbang?

I get shinbang frequently and i hate it. It feels like a knife being stabbed into my shin whenever i press lightly into the front of my boot. Sometimes if i press really hard it doesn't hurt as much. But thats not what i'm talking about. I took off my sock today to ice my shins and realized that there was a swollen bump right above the top of my foot. Is this normal or what. I'm not quite sure what to do here. Should i just keep icing it and hope it subsides or should i go see a doctor cuz i've serously considered it, especially last season when i might have torn my shin muscle from the bone. I don't know if i really did that because i did a lot of research and that what i sounded like i did. Any advice. + K
