Hi,
The lump is a normal occurrence after this type of injury. There will be swelling and bruising which will have caused blood to collect in the area causing the lump to appear. It may last a few days before receding.
In the meantime, take paracetamol and ibuprofen for the pain. Keep your knee moving with your normal daily activities otherwise it may become stiff. A compression knee support may help. Also try a cool compress to the area.
Hope this helps you.
