Hi,
It seems that you might be having some vascular insufficiency or varicose vein giving this lump, particularly on standing.
Consul tvascular surgeon and get examined.
Color Doppler will give exact clue about your problem.
Meanwhile raise your leg while resting.
Wear led strokkings til morning to evening.
Ok and take care.
