Not that I know of: I have had many patients on ms contin but have no seen this swelling with it. If you are on actos, (pioglitazone) amlodipine, diltiazem, verapamil, nifedipine, prazosin, terazosin, or minoxidil, you can develop a swelling like this. Make sure urine has no protein and uric acid normal. You mention blood tests are normal. If liver and kidney functions are normal, your next step is to have an ultrasound on heart.

MS Contin (morphine): This drug is for moderate to severe pain and time released. While it has many potential side effects swelling is not one of them.
