What Causes A Lump On The Leg?

I have a volleyball scholarship to go to school and during my physical, the doctor notice a lump on my leg. I have had this lump for about a year. When x-rayed, it was a fracture probably about the size of an edge of a penny. The area is still painful, especially when running and jumping. My question is, will i still get medically cleared to play? If i don't get cleared, I lose my scholarship.
