What Does A Lump On The Metatarsal Bone Indicate?

Just over 2 weeks ago I discovered a slightly large bruise and a good sized lump on my 2ND metatarsal. The bruise spreads from just on my 2ND metatarsal to my 5th metatarsal. It is a circular shape. The lump increased in size the day after I had noticed it. It almost tripled in size. It has gone down a lot since and the bruise it disappearing but still evident. About 3 days ago I felt my foot and discovered the my 3rd metatarsal is extremely tender to touch. The lump on my 2nd metatarsal is still there and isee not decreasing anymore. It is probably the size of a medium/small medium marble. Another thing to note is that it is not sore most of the time when I was but it does feel tight on the top of my foot where the bruise is and it does feel a bit weird. What might this be?
