HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it could be local swelling of muscle and it can be minimize by keeping the leg in elevated position some time it can be given anti-inflammatory drug but better to wait for some time it will be fine on its own, for the pain less potent pain medicine can be tried, hope this information helps.
