lump above outer ankle bone

On my right shin about 6 inches above my ankle. It is on the left outer side of my shin bone. My lump is about the size of a half dollar, and it is soft. I have had it for a little over a month, and it just started aching this week. Like you stated, I feel like I am having shin splint pains. Let me know if you find anything out. I am going to the doctor tomorrow because it has become pretty painful.

ve found heel cups work well for the heel spurs but is there another insert that would help with bone spurs on the outside area of the foot? Will surgery remove them indefinitely or can they return?

I found a small lump about 1 cm. in diameter under my ankle bone a few months ago. So I seen an orthopedic surgeon about it. She did an x-ray and said it was a peroneal tuberosity or possible ganglion cyst. She said the x-ray didn't show calcification. She did not biopsy it or order an MRI, & sent me home. She said nothing to worry about. I got a second opinion from a podiatrist.

I went to the doctor and got xrays but they said that nothing was wrong. I've had a lump under my ankle that feels like bone. I've had it for a little over a month. It cause pain to my whole foot. I sprained it but I have no idea why the bump is there. What could it be?

Hello Dear, The goal of treating fractures of the talus is to maximize the movement of the ankle and subtalar joints, restore the anatomic dimensions of the bone and prevent arthritis of either of the above joints. This is not easy because of the magnitude of the fracture that commonly occurs in the most serious injuries. Arthritis may develop, or even worse, there may be a loss of blood supply to the bone – a condition called avascular necrosis of the talus.

But now my other ankle is doing the exact same thing on other side. Pain around outer ankle and heel, also have this bone sticking out a little and hurts. Could this happen Bilateral this kind of injury? What happens if this doesn't heel right?

I have a question. I have a lump that seems attached to the bone on the top of my foot. (From the diagram I looked up it seems to be on the 2nd cuneiform) it does not move and by that I mean it feels like it is anchored to the bone, it has gotton bigger over the last few days. (No injuries, no trauma).The lump does not hurt but my foot aches and it travels up to my ankle and almost up to my hip.I couldnt sleep last night because of the dull ache and cramps.

I have had horrible shooting pain on my left ankle bone. It does not go away. My ankle bone is a little swollen - I also get pain on the inside of my elbow - but the ankle pain is more intense. I have tried wrapping it - elevating it - nothing helps. Does anyone know what this is and what I can do about it? My cobra (insurance ran out) and I have not gone to ther Dr. yet. Is it Fibromyalgia or arthritis? I did not have ab injury. The pain is at times - unbearable.

This is called avascular necrosis which deprives the bone of blood, without which the bone dies and begins to get reabsorbed. As the internal bone begins to lose the outer articular or joint cartilage begins separated from the bone and this is prone to damage. Follow up with your orthopedician. Take care!

As the time passes by, i noticed that my sprained feet will hurt if i walk to long and i noticed this lump below my ankle. When I touched it, i felt like the lump was a bone sticking out because it was hard and not soft and if i apply pressure ,it will hurt...I told my mom that I sprained my ankle on the first day but my mom seems not to care so i think it is not a serious situation . But in this condition ehat i should do?

About 2 weeks ago i found a very hard lump on my ankle under the skin. Its about the diameter of a quarter and its located on the outerside in the very back. (side of achilles tendon) In the last few days it has been causing me a lot of pain. The bump its self doesnt hurt but the area around it started hurting, the pain spread to my ankle and heal and now is creaping up my leg. Does any one have any idea what this is?

To begin with, I am 33 old single man I am less active and I am obese my weight is 112 KG and my Height is 178 cms. I am having this Lump on my left ankle foot since 2 months. I was thinking it is due to excess weight so I started going for brisk walk. Last few days I noticed the swelling and consistent mild pain on the lump. Size of lump increases like a big pimple.

The good news is that the decreased sensation that had existed running along the trigeminal nerve (from top of lip to along top of cheek bone to corner of left eye, and above eye starting at mid-brow line and following brow to outer corner of left eye) has almost, if not completely disappeared. So, I suppose when I see my Pain Doc again I'll let her know about this... I can see it now, she is going to shake her head and...well, I don't really know what she'll say to me.....

My leg fell through a step and my body went forward causing a large dent in my leg. The impact point is below the knee and above the ankle. I have had a lump in my leg for that long.. No pain... should I be worried?

Suggestions please - I have a lump / bump on either life of my legs above my ankles. I speed skate - the boots are tight and hard. When I don’t skate it is fine - when I do the pressure is sore on the lumps. I haven’t skated for 2 weeks and the bumps are still there. It looks like I have 2 ankle bones. Thanks so much!

My inner leg has stayed numb since the surgery, my outer leg flucuates depending on the amount of swelling in my knee. My ankle bone has been painfully sensitive to anything rubbing against it for weeks; however this past week at times, that area also hurts when i try to walk or just doing nothing. Is this a normal part of the healing process? Is there anything I can do to make this area less sensitive?

So I've had this big lump in my lower right leg for weeks. At first I thought it was just a bruise. Cus there is a pink spot. It seemed to get bigger now and is as hard as a bone. It hurts to push on. My feet and ankle hurts when I walk to. And they feel kind of numb. Idk if that has to do with it or not. I'm worrying. What if it's a blood clot or something..

I have a red bump under my outside ankle bone. It’s been there for maybe a year. Today I found another on the other ankle, almost in the same spot. What could they be? Does not look like a wart. They are half the size of a pea. Red, lump- not soft or Squishy. Not pimples, had them too long.

t have any tendon tears (not sure if I believe that -- I think it may be torn somewhat, though not a big tear). I have burning along the tendon to just above my ankle, and am swollen just behind the ankle. Was also very bruised in that area when I did the original injury. Any additional info you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there, I'm hoping someone can help. Last night I inadvertently touched my right ankle joint and noticed a small, hard, bony lump near to it. It isn't tender when I touch it but it's making my foot feel fizzy and has created muscle spasms in other parts of my foot. I haven't injured the area, the foot hasn't swollen or become red and there is a slight dent in the skin between the lump and the ankle joint itself. Should I see a doctor about this?

The other portion of the bone hanging off creates a small bump i can feel above my ankle which im told over time will get smaller. I also fractured the bone a few inches above the break at the ankle. the orthopedist put it in a cast without the surgery required for setting (probably due to me not having insurance)and i rested it for about 5 months. The last x ray i got showed the break at the ankle growing back towards the bone with some scar tissue as well.

About 6 months ago i sprained my ankle at work. I went to the ER a few days later because i thought i could just wrap some ace bandages around my foot and be ok. The Dr.'s took xrays and nothing was out of the ordinary so they gave me crutches and wrapped my ankle bandages and air cast. It obviously still hurt so they told me to ice it every now and again and stay off of it. I work in retail so i couldnt stay home. I went to work but didnt use the crutches.

In the last two weeks I have started experiencing EXTREME heat/electrical shock type of pain in my right leg just above my outer ankle bone. It started only radiating up about four inches above my ankle but is now going further up my leg and lasting longer. Is this a characteristic of MS? Also, is there any connection between MS and Raynaud's Disease and MS? I've suffered with this for over 20 years and it gets more difficult all the time.

Sometimes I have this lump above my pelvic bone and was just wondering what it could be. Is it my utertus I can feel?

Stress fractures of medial malleolus, tarsal tunnel syndrome, rupture of tendon of peroneus brevis, and sinus tarsi syndrome (pain just front of lateral malleolus on the outer side of ankle) are the other possibilities. The clue to right treatment is right diagnosis of the cause of pain. You can consult an orthopedic specialist. I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor (PCP) and get a referral for a sports clinic and consult a sports medicine specialist.
