Brief Answer:
Get x-ray done.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have read your query.

If bone is found in location, that you have mentioned, it should not be ignored especially if become painful. Sometimes it has to be removed.You need to get xray of ankle with foot in AP and Lateral view to know the exact location of bone. Send me the report of x-ray I will advise you further management apart from surgery if possible e.g steroid injection near the bone if possible.

I hope it helps.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
