lump in ankle

For as long as I can recall I have had this soft lump in my right shin about 6" above my ankle just to the right about 1" of my shin bone. It doesn't bother me much and it seems to swell up and then go back to not noticeable at all when looking at my leg. I've been doing light jogging for about 3 months 45 min for about 4-6 days a week.

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.

it appear as if there is water in it but it also feel like there is a small lump in it . I notice that there is one more on my other ankle on the other foot. I been going to the gym also and been lifting weights i do not know if that have anything to do with it. Am a bit concern now because they are not moving, is there any advice or do you have any idea what it can be ..I am 29 years old am at average weight and in good health condition.

Hi i was wondering if anyone can help me, I have had a lump in my lower left leg for 2 years now every now and then it swells up and gives me pain its in the left leg and its about 3 inches above the ankle in a straight line it gets really painful gives me pain in the the bottom of the foot and in the ankle and also this might sound strange but it sometimes feels as if someone is dripping cold water down my leg, does anyone know what this could be. Thank you very much.

I have a lump in my lower leg its on the side just above my ankle, I have had it checked out and the doctor that seen me just said it was tissue, but now i have burning in my leg and and one of my veins just above the lump as risen on my leg and it is now giving my terrible pain. I am flying abroad in the next two weeks and im am now really worrying about this lump because i have a toothache feeling in my leg and burning. Can anyone relate to this or has anyone heard about something like this?

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?

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?

2 weeks ago I noticed a very small hard bump just below my left ankle. A couple days ago I noticed it had grown in size (almost tripled in size). The bump doesn't hurt but my ankle is tender in surrounding area. Should I be concerned?

You need to consult an orthopedic specialist at the earliest as you have also started feeling pain. A change in the size, texture, color, association of pain etc in a lump is a cause of concern. You will need to undergo X-ray of the concerned joint, maybe fine needle aspiration cytology to study the type of tissue and/or some blood tests. See your orthopedic specialist at the earliest. If you need more help, please feel free to contact. I’ll be happy to answer your queries.

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?

I have twisted the ankle a couple of times in a certain pair of flip flops I have. When I push in on the lump, it is kind of firm and feels "boney." I seen a dermatologist about it, but she said it felt "boney" and not of the skin. She felt it was a little small to be a ganglion cyst, but really didn't know what it was. She suggested seeing a PCP or orthopedic doctor. I really don't know what kind of doctor I should start with.

On my left ankle, around a year ago, maybe a year and a half, i got a small, movable, painless lump about the size of a pea on my left ankle. over time, it had grown, it is now about 1" by 1.2", still i feel no pain, although now i can actually feel it, and it has come to my attention that it bleeds when i attempt to buff it down. I have purchased various compoundW products but i would like to have a more thorough understanding of this lump before taking any further actions..

There’s a lump on the back side of my leg above my ankle. The lump in the groin has absolutely no opening so ingrown hair is ruled out. They all 3 hurt and are pretty firm. I don’t know if any of this would have to do with it but I have degenerative disc disease(back problems) and also really bad migraines mostly on the left side. And fluttering in my left ear. I know I’m so mad at myself for waiting so long to get the migraines and fluttering checked out.

I have what I believe is a heel spur on the back of my right heel. There is a lump sticking out, not big. About 4-6 weeks ago, I started having Achilles pain & now I have a lump on my heel. The outside of the same heel, the outside of my ankle has has had some pain too. It's a little puffy, & the inside of my ankle is slightly swollen too. My heel & ankle hurt sometimes while going to sit down. Did I ruputre my Achilles tendon? How do I treat this, whatever it is issue?

i have a small lump under skin near inner front ankle..it has grown in size in the last couple of weeks. It doesn't itch and it is not breaking the skin.

recently I have been getting a larger lump swelling on the inside of my left ankle. The pain is now creeping up my leg to the knee. I have had a tarsal tunnel release surgery on that spot 3 years ago with great result until now. I also had nerve release on left leg near knee on outside of leg. It swells more and more each day and by evening is the size of an orange on the inside of ankle--right side is normal, outside of ankle is normal but left foot pain is getting worse.

5 ankle now it returned to its size, but above the ankle the leg is has bigger lump is it because it is healing from down it healed coz , is this how the leg heals it goes up and then goes away?

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.

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..

Thank you so much for your advice , I had missed some details. The lump is on my left ankle before that I had sprained my ankle then after some days I see a small lump that flatens when I massage on the part then after few hours it will return back to its original size . It took 6-7 years to grow to this current size but now its 13 years and not growing. Now its not growing . What I'm suspecting is a neurofibroma ,it is movable. Still it reduces its size when I massage it.

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.

I hurt my leg running in softball a few months back, and about a month ago I noticed a lump in my thigh (quad) in the area that I hurt. I've tried to massage it out, but it's still there. Last week I noticed that if I prop the ankle of that leg up on my opposite knee (almost like cross-legged) when I'm seated in a chair, I feel soreness in my knee that can kind of reverberate up into my hip area.

About 4 years ago, I broke my ankle and had it in a cast for 6 weeks. When they put the cast on, the little toe was smashed into the other toe and has never gone back "exactly" to the right place. There isn't any pain with it. It just feels odd sometimes.

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!

Im 85 yrs old a lump has formed on the back of my leg right of above my ankle an it hurts when I touch it

Then around Easter I noticed a small pea sized lump a tad under my ankle bone, visible only when my ankle is bent a certain way but you can feel it always. This caused no pain, and I really dont know how long that was even there before I finally noticed. Currently, I dont technically have pain at all, but at times my ankle/outside of my foot just feels "weird". I'm not even sure how to describe.

Hi, I recently had an infection in/over my left ankle. I had a fever of over 39C and redness and swelling over the ankle area. I had no history of any trauma. I was admitted to hospital with celllulitis. Ultrasound showed "Hyperaemia, diffuse oedema, fluid within the anterior and posterior tibial tendons and within the retro achilles bursa. There is marked cellulitis present.

A sudden painful lump can be due to bursitis of ankle joint, infected cyst, abscess or due to boil. Keep leg raised. Take anti-inflammatory. Go to the ER if that is the only option. Take care!
