Hello,
As due to falling there will be bruise and lumps due to the disturbance in the normal physiological processes of the muscle.
Are you having past medical history of blood pressure or diabetes or anything else for which you are taking medicine or getting treated by some other way.
If there is no past medical history this will be just the normal physiological process of healing.
Doing hot water fermentation and keeping the leg elevated over a pillow while in the supine position should help reduce the symptoms.
Wait for a week to look out for any changes in the lumps and pain. If it comes down you may not need to worry. In case if no changes found than get it physical examined by a physician for a safe side.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Hello,
The pool of blood in the muscle can form a lump in the area of the damage, which is known as Hematoma.
Hematomas cause pain, swelling, and tenderness over the area of skin discoloration or deep within the body.
It might take a few days till weeks to subside. Ice pack application is recommended. Avoid Strenuous physical activity and avoid lying/sleeping at the site of injury.
Do visit an Orthopedic consultant if the pain/lump persists for more than a month.
