When I fell, did not hear a pop; now however, I do hear some clicking when I extend

Hi. The hard lump could be the new insertion of the ACL where they attached the ligament - remember they drill the new attachment in and put a screw there, so that is expected. It is important to check if the attachments have not loosened to make that click. I advise you go back for a review by the Orthopod.
