Mine does it from time to time, could be agrivation or I find sometimes a slight blockage. I've never had a major problem with it or seemed med advice it eventually went down

Mine did this today for the first time. Doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it though. Like you, no pain or anything. Just keep an eye on it.

It happens to me from time to time. I guess it is some sort of temporary inflammation, so far it gets back to normal size after a few day. Probably a bit of inflammation but it usually goes away. It happens when I eat load of vegetable... seem it is more mechanical than anything.
