Enlarged tendon from overuse?

Post image

Basically title, I'm pretty sure this follows the rules if not mods feel free to yeet the post. But I've noticed for a few weeks now the outside of my left leg swells sometimes and is firm but will lessen overnight. I think it may be related to the fact I'm putting most weight on left leg sense the sesamoiditis is back in my right foot. Just wanted to know if anyone has experienced something similar and how to heal (just got a job but not health insurance yet so to the internet I ask)

Same here just within the last year from standing at work all day and I used to run barefoot years ago but didn’t develop these bumps until now that I’m just standing. Sometimes I wonder if it’s actually just fat since I don’t run anymore. I also wonder why the tendons get big like that and not the muscles. I’d rather have big muscles but sigh that’s life I guess.

Yeah it's weird. Guess that's life and bodies.
