What Is A Large Knot On Lower Back Post Injury Suggestive Of?

I had a semi hard fall and landed on my lower back, now I have a large knot about 4 inches wide and 1/2 inch raised. The knot appeared about 30 mins after fall. Can someone tell me what it might be. There is not a lot of pain unless pressure is applied.
