Bump next to incision....

Hi, I have a bump next to my incision, I do have my stitches still in also. They get removed on Tuesday of next week. Now the bump doesn’t hurt at all and it’s on both sides of the incision. It is not squishy more firm, and it gets more firm when laying down. I feel fine and have no headaches or anything like that, I’ve had a CAF leak before and the bump feels nothing like that. My surgeon felt it on Tuesday, but we were talking about something else and I forgot to ask him what it was, but he also didn’t comment on it so I don’t think it’s serious. If anything it sometimes feels tight especially when I wake up. I was wondering if it could be pressure bumps? Maybe from the stitches still being in? Has anyone else had this problem? I do put ice on it and it seems to go down alittle bit. Like I said I feel perfectly fine, no pain or anything.
