Should i get and x-ray if i had immediate swelling and bruising, after hitting my shin on a pole?

I was running, and i slipped and hit my shin on a pole. I had immediate swelling and bruising. I could walk, but it kind of hurt a little. I don't know if I fractured my leg,but i also don't know if I should also get an x-ray? What do you think?|||I'd wait. Most of the time fractures prevent walking. It's normal to have bruising. Ice it, take some pain medication, and wait for about a week. If swelling gets worse, go the doctor, if it gets better, it was probably just a bad bump.
