As per your explanation I strongly recommend you it can be lymph node related issue if there is no history of fall. Do visit a vascular doctor instead of normal physician. Or else you can also take opinion with orthopedic doctor. But take action as early as possible if swelling is increasing as well as painful. Take care.
