Wow, you must have bumped it pretty badly....

the lump could be alot of things, which my first recommendation would be to have a doctor check it out.

it is probably nothing, and you may want to massage it and apply heat to it (these two things will warm up the area and get blood flowing to help the healing of the lump, which in time should make your lump smaller). heat, can be in the form of a heating pad or in topical applications such as ben-gay, flex-all or the like.

your pregnant!!!!! congrats

Actually, you should probably have a doctor look at it.
I'm not sure what it is, but it sounds like it needs to be checked by a doctor.

if you walk on it well you didnt break it but you probably tore some tissue i woudl think it would have already gone away id consult a doctor now

it may take a while to heal.... just because the outside looks fine, doesnt mean the inside is totally healed yet.... i've had bumps and bruises in my day and it took a couple months for the bumps to disappear..... give it a couple more weeks, try and keep the area iced and baby it for a while..... if its still there in another 2-3 weeks, see a doctor.....

I hurt my shin 2 years ago ( hit a truck sleding lol) but mine is still sensitive is that normal. I dont know honestly.
