Suggest Treatment For Foot Injury

I knocked the inside of my foot at the weekend. It really hurt at the time and I remember thinking oh no, there goes another bruise. anyway the day after the area hurt but i felt a hard bone like bump in the area that was knocked. It doesnt hurt two days later but the hard bone like lump is still there.its just below my inside ankle about an inch lower toward the bottom of my foot. I have been to the gym, done a 3 mile run. it doesnt hurt but if I turn my foot in certain directions I can feel a slight tenderness in the area. what could I have done.?
