What Are The Side Effects If Increased Bolus Amt ?

I have a Medtronic pain pump with dilaudid for about two months. Dr has adjusted the amount given a few times and I was still having very regular late in the day/evening serious pain most days. Since there have been some days when it ( the pain) came mid-afternoon I was reluctant although they offered the flexBolus. So doc upped the bolus amount to .0150 mg (I think that is the correct figure) and 1 hour or so after I enabled it the first time I had watery liquid running down my leg. Could this be from the increased Bolus amt.? Thanks in advance
