This is likely to be a resolving haematoma. Think - scar tissue within the muscle that was bruised. It should slowly fade over time.
You will need to see a doctor if your bruise is changing colors and has a pea sized lump. A doctor can make sure that the bruise is healing and there is no immediate threat to your health.

No, a bruise or contusion is caused by direct force that breaks small capillaries. You can run into a table leg, and bruise your shin. You can fall and bruise your wrist. If the injury involves trauma or fracture, the bruising can be large and look quite ugly.
A bruise does not always hurt. In fact, most don't. Pain would come from the underlying injury, not from the bruise itself. A bruise is simply blood in tissues from small broken blood vessels.
A black and blue mark is a bruise. A bruise in medicine is called a contusion. A bruise occurs when a force breaks small capillaries, letting blood ooze into the tissues.
A small bit of force on the tissue can cause a bruise. For example, a girl has long hair. While brushing her hair, the hairbrush accidentally slips and hits her eye. Later, it turned into a bruise. A guy was putting on a pull over sweater. He smacks himself in the eye. Later, he has a bruise. A mom is holding her baby. The infant is holding a rattle. Unexpectedly, the baby smacks the mom's face with the rattle, resulting in a small bruise.

It means you hit your knee on something with enough force to break small blood vessels. A bruise is nothing more than blood in the tissues from broken capillaries. A bruise can occur with or without injury to underlying structures.
A bruise is the result of breaking small blood vessels in the flesh. If you hit someone hard enough, just about anywhere will leave a bruise. I'm hoping you're just curious... hitting someone hard enough to cause a bruise can result in serious injury or even death in some cases, so you shouldn't do it.
