General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to hcm
It's difficult to diagnose without examining, Based on your description I think it could be hematoma because of any blunt trauma which you are not aware of. If you have history of varicose veins then consult your doctor for proper diagnosis. If your leg hurts a lot then dvt should also be ruled out.

Thank you
