How To Treat Lump Underneath My Lower Leg?

I fell down a flight of stairs from a second story to first story home. I had a heart attack this past Nov and had two stints put in at that time. When I fell, an ambulance was called due to the pain in my shoulder and the fact that I was on Plavix. I had a CT and shoulder xrays and they were fine. It is now a week later and my lower leg has a massive bruise and hurts a little, and there is a firm bump/lump underneath. Considering I am on Plavix and aspirin I wasn't worried about blood clots but now I am wondering if I should make a dr's appt. Thank you for an answer.

You have to undergo a proper clinical examination to be done by a Doctor who can catch many of the problems on your proper history and physical examination and can then guide for further investigations and treatment.
