What Could Lump Above Ankle Indicate?Suggest Remedy
I worked out this morning and while running on a treadmill I had a pain in my lower right leg. When I ran on my toes it went away. When I finished I noticed a lump above ankle and had a dull pain all up my leg along the bone. What is it and what can I do to get rid of it?

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
This lump along with calf pain can be a symptom of veins thrombosis. Especially if it is hard and painful when touching it. Leg can be painful when walking and calf can be hard. Please do not ignore it. Veins thrombosis needs to be ruled out. Please consult your doctor, have D-dimers checked and Dopplers ultrasound done in case of elevated D-dimers.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
