What Causes A Lump On The Ankle Bone After A Fall?
I fell down half a flight of stairs about a week ago. Bruised my right buttcheek and thigh really significantly, and my right ankle was also pretty tender. However, I could bear weight without difficulty and went about my day. The ankle never did end up bruising, although i thought it would. Fast forward to today. Bruises are healing up nicely, but ankle area is still extremely tender. I also now notice that it is a lump about half an inch above the ankle that hurts, not the ankle bone itself. What could it be? do I need to go see my doctor? Or will this heal up on it s own in time?

Hi,This lump on the ankle seems to be due to Tendinitis with bruise due to bony stress at its attachment.
It would take 3 weeks to heal up.If not get the xray and consult ortho-surgeon.
Consult ER Ortho-Surgeon who would treat it accordingly.
Hope this would resolve your query.
