From your description and image, this is most likely a localized muscle swelling or muscle knot due to heavy training like squats.
It can feel hard and tight after repeated strain.
For now
Reduce heavy leg workouts for a few days
Apply warm compress
Gentle stretching and avoid overloading
However, if Severe pain Redness warmth Fever or if it doesnât improve in a few days, itâs important to get it examined to rule out other causes.
I can guide you further based on details feel free to book a consultation.

"Training with 100kg squats is an intense physical load, and if a part of your leg has become constantly swollen and feels 'hard as a stone,' it requires immediate medical evaluation. This could range from a localized muscle hematoma (internal bleeding within the muscle) to more serious conditions like Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome or even a muscle tear. The 'stone-hard' feeling is particularly concerning as it indicates high pressure within the muscle tissue
RICE Protocol: For now, follow the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation). Use ice packs for 15 minutes every few hours, but if the pain increases with elevation, seek emergency help.
