Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
You might be having muscle injury & XXXXXXX bleeding when box dropped on your foot.
Now that blood has organised & converted into lump that you are feeling.
It will take some time for resolution & slowly lump will disappear.
So nothing to worry about it.
However if you are having excessive pain can apply local analgesic & hot fomentation.
I hope your query has been answered. I will be available for your further queries.
Regards,
