Brief Answer:
Please send me image of that bulge
Detailed Answer:
Hello, I have studied your case and I think you have collection of blood in the calf muscles. It can cause pain and difficulty in walking but I am not sure it is going to burst. If possible then please send me images of that lesion. Till then you can apply ice. Also take Brufen tablet for pain relief.
I am waiting for your images. I will try my best to help you. Thanks
