Hi,This could be Fibroma post-hematoma or it could be subacute- bursitis with changed alignment after the last trauma.
.Consult a Surgeon and if need be orthopedic Surgeon.
Remedy-
IF confirmed as fibroma from a Surgeon-I would suggest Surgical planned Excision.
If bursitis-as proved by USG study,
Tab-Motrin 400 mgm x 1 weeks time with script from GP doctor.
If no relief-Consult for a Second opinion with Ortho-pedic surgeon.
Hope this would help you to resolve your query.
