Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that due to traumatic injury there has been inflammation of soft tissues and also there is traumatic injury to blood vessels leading to accumulation of blood into the soft tissues and leading to Hematoma formation..
Thee Hematoma at times gets encapsulated and become localized leading to formation of a firm mass..
It can take a longer time to resolve and you need not to worry about it..
You can apply alternate warm and cool compresses over the lump..
You can apply Heparin gel over it as it helps in easy disruption of the Hematoma..
You can also apply analgesic gel if there is pain..
You can take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen..
In case of no resolution or improvement in a month consult an Orthopedician and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
