Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
This is definitely a hematoma which has increased due to exercise. The walls of the hematoma are fragile in the healing stages.
I would suggest :: ultrasonography and guided aspiration by a wide bore needle followed by tight bandage to avoid recurrence. Antibiotics only for coverage to avoid infection.
A rest if possible.
