Lump on Hind leg possible bruise

I took my Rabbit to the Vets two weeks ago to get her Nails clipped
As he tried to pick her up from the carrier she struggled and i think hurt her legs.
Two days later she had a lump on her hind leg and limping slightly . it felt soft so thought it was a bruise
i called the vet for help and they said if it gets bigger bring her in. it seems to have gone down so maybe i will wait a little longer - i hope it is not an absess but she seems to be ok at the moment
 
How is she walking now? Is she limping or trying to hop, if trying to hop she may just have bruised it like you or I would. If she's eating, drinking and pooping fine and seems happy leave her be, but if you notice anything different please take her to your vet as advised :)

ETA; I just noticed that this happened two weeks ago. That's a long time for her still to be sore, I'd take her in for a check-up to be sure.
 
Yes she's hopping about ok, and eating pooping drinking fine, her normal self:D
and the lump seems to have gone down a bit - i just felt it
thanx for the input
