Hi.
The collection of the blood would have been concentratred in this spot from the old injuries, which you might have noticed now due to pain/ tenderness.
Is there any problem in walking or working?
If the swelling is red and ho this can be an abscess.
This can be a hematoma too.
Ortho opinion should be sought.
