power tool

A 300 pound power tool fell down on my shin 10 days ago and I’m trying to avoid going to the Dr ($$$). I can walk on it but it’s still very swollen and painful. If I even bump it the pain is excrutiating. It has bruising but looks OK. If it was truly broken would I still be able to walk on it? If it’s just a “hairline” crack (?) and I put up with the pain, will it still heal OK? I don’t mind some crookedness if it will heal OK. I remember as a child, one of my best friend’s Dad let a leg break go and eventually lost it to gangrene. I have no insurance and would really prefer to avoid an expensive Dr. visit if possible. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
