Your swelling has nothing to do with Galvus Met. I think it appeared incidentally when you started taking Galvus Met. To me it seems to be an inflammatory swelling since it is painful. You should better see an experienced surgeon and get it treated. Also get to an endocrinologist for tight sugar control in case the need for surgery arises.
Good luck
