Lump on my leg- weeks after a fall?

Question:

Several weeks ago - like 6-7 now- I tried to jump up on a platform to cross over something and fell to the side hitting my upper thigh and upper ankle area. The area by the ankle (maybe 5 inches above the ankle bone) swelled a bit, by the time I got to a place with ice and then I iced it.
It bruised pretty bad for a number of days then started healing. But I still have a "knot" in that area- that you can feel- about the size of two quarters in diameter. It hurts slightly at times- especially if you touch it with more then a bit of pressure.
What could this "knot" be?

Thanks in advance

Answers:
I had a bump on my armpit, turned out to be a swollen lymphnode/ abcess. my brother had a lump on his knee turned out to be a cyst. i dont recall falling on my armpit, and his just showed up. Maybe you want to see a Dr. about it though. It can never hurt.

Good Luck, and God Bless!

it could be damage to the muscles, or damage to the bone, best idea would be to go see a doctor, just to be sure.
