usually patients on thrombolytic drugs have a tendency to bleed more because the blood wont clot at normal time so they bleed more if there is no blood vessel rupture its ok internal bleeds can cause lump like which subside on itself if there is internal arterial or venal rupture that it would be difficult to evaluate the situation any how as far as lump there is no much problem for being sure you can consult a doctor for better evaluation
