Is It To Be Concerned About The Lump Like Muscle In The Knee Due To A Hit?

During a soccer game I got kneed on the outside of my right knee. It was very painful at first, but then the pain went away and had a huge bruise. I went to see the doctor, got x-rays done and everything was fine. Doctor said it was just a really bad contusion. I iced it and now I am noticing a muscle like lump. It does not hurt, I can bend my knee, run, walk, but the lump is still there. At first the doctor said it was water, but now the lump is harder. Will it go away? Should I be concerned? What should I do?
