Could A Lump In Upper Leg After Being Hit Against Stove Indicate Blood Clot?

As a result of a slip from standing on a chair to retrieve a plastic watering can that fell behind my stove (not turned on) with a curtain rod, my left leg knocked against the stove and created quite a bruise. This was a month ago. The bruise has gone away, but I still have a lump in my upper leg that can t be seen, but I can feel it. I take lots of vitamins and have been taking inositol and ginkgo extract and eat good food (no junk food) and know that I have somewhat of a circulation problem. I am wondering if it might be a blood clot and am ready to call my doctor and make an appointment. Thank you for your help. Sheila Dorr
