Hello
Thanks for your query.
I will try my best to provide you with best possible professional recommendations to your questions.
Bump or swelling on your leg may be due to hematoma that means a localized collection of blood, which might have occured due to some blunt trauma.
You might be unaware of the trauma.
I advice you to take rest, elevation of the limb and application of ice compression to that area.
As you are already taking tab hydrocodone which contains analgesics there is no need of other pain killers .
It will take few days for the hematoma to dissolve.
No need to worry your symptoms will gradually diminish
Yet again, I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Hope i have cleared your queries. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer
