Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
The lump you feel around the joint could be a unresolved haematoma.It could have formed after a tear in a ligament in the joint.
Do get a MRI scan to confirm the fact and to plan a management.
Meanwhile do apply Crepe bandage over the joint and prevent undue stretching.
Wish you good health.
