Nairek, I don't believe I have any visible swelling in my thigh. It is my side of hip, the trochanteric bursa, that is very tender to the touch....and unable to sleep on affected side. My side of the knee is tender too, where the IT Band is, but the hip pain is actually more pronounced. Don't know if that explains it for you very well.
