Is A Painful Lump Between The Ribs Indicative Of Bruise?

For a week or so now I have had a ball/knot like lump in the upper part just between my ribs. Sometimes it hurts more than other. Hurts to touch. Sometimes it s uncomfortable to breath deeply. Just before that I haven t been able to lay or slope on my left side. Just this month on the 2nd I moved. I lifted a lot of boxes and some furniture. Someone suggested that I might have bruised it somehow but I noticed it a week after
