Hi,
The knot might be because of muscle spasms due to injury or an incidental finding which comes into light because of the injury. In case its because of muscle spasm or intramuscular hemorrhage, it will go on in a week or two with simple rest and icing. You can take some over the counter pain killers for pain in the meantime but if its an incidental finding, you need to get yourself thoroughly examined and investigated, and once the diagnosis is confirmed. treatment will be started accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
