Can you get a picture of it? It sounds like it could be bumbletoe
 
In the meantime, I feel that time in a lukewarm bath deep enough to float in will take pressure off the leg, improve circulation and help relax the muscles if they are strained.

Something else that will help (but not the only thing to do ) is make warm compresses with Epsom salts water. Es is a laxative, so you don't want the duck to drink it, that is why I use compresses.
