Fallen From Ladder, Bruise On Thigh, Soft And Burning Bump

Thanks for posting your query.
From your description it seems that you have suffered a soft tissue injury due to the fall. Usually there is a mild collection of blood inside the tissue giving rise to the soft lump you are feeling.
The first line treatment involves a cold compress and a mild pain killer like acetaminophen in case it is painful. Avoiding weight bearing and keeping the limb elevated on two pillows while resting will be helpful. Most of the times, it resolves spontaneously in 2-3 weeks.
In case there is an increase in swelling or severe pain with raise in temperature then medical attention is needed for proper treatment.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
