What Does A Bruised Lump On Leg After An Injury Indicate?

A baseball hit my leg and I had a really bad bruise which is to be expected. It s been two weeks and now there is a knot. It doesn t hurt anymore, but my there is still discoloration of the skin (a yellowish color) My uncle lost his leg due to osteomylitis of the bone that resulted from hitting his leg on a rock. Should I be concerned?
