Likely hematoma : It is likely a hematoma, which is a area of bleeding that can occur secondary to Injury and other causes, when it forms a clit it hardens. I do think it would be good to be seen to verify the diagnosis and to rule out an associated fracture.

Trochanteric: Bursitis . I believe a steroid shot would improve you greatly! I am a heavy duty mountain biker. It happens frequently with your fall!
