Suggest Treatment For A Lump Just Below The Knee

I am a soccer player and 6 weeks ago I got kick just below the knee. I had a large bruise for a good 3 weeks. Now that the bruise is gone I have a large red lump where I got kicked. Didn't think much about it, but now it is sore to the touch and is starting to hurt to walk. What is going on?
