hello dear
thanks for your query at hcm.
I understand your concern.
Lump , bruising and severe pain in knee cap after injury indicate seriousness of the injury. it might be due to ligament injury or soft tissue injury in the knee region. My recommendation would be you consult orthopedician with x ray of the knee in AP and lateral view for further management.
Regards.
