I injured my knee a weeks ago. And it was really bruised but after a while the purple brusing went away. But there still is a hard lump on my left side of my right knee. Its not painful but it does hurt sometimes when I kneel down or bend my knee. So will it ever go away.

Generally no, it must be treated. I copied/pasted the general treatment for a baker cyst.
How is a Baker cyst treated?
Baker cysts often resolve with removal of excess knee fluid in conjunction with cortisone injection. Medications are sometimes given to relieve pain and inflammation.
When cartilage tears or other internal knee problems are associated, surgery can be the best treatment option. During a surgical operation the surgeon can remove the swollen tissue (synovium) that leads to the cyst formation.
GOOD LUCK!
