What Is Causing The Pain And The Lump On My Right Leg?
Hi. I started with this strong pain on the outside of my right leg, from the knee area down to the ankle. The pain went away, but a burning pain developed right over the fibula and now I have a small soft lump. I am scared to death that it could be a bone cancer. Help me, please. Thank you

Hello,
I don't think this is cancer so please be relaxed. Because cancer cannot be just predicted by all such soft lumps.
For now, I will advise you to do icing and simple exercises for the lower limbs to have a balancing strength on both sides. Usually, you get pain and aches if there is any ligament injury like a sprain in the knee and the swelling of the adjacent joints as they take maximum stress for the weight bearing.
Your pain should be fine after icing and simple exercises. In my clinical practice of over 12 years, most cases have a ligament injury in the knee and the symptoms of the tibiofibular joint are examined. With icing and simple exercises for correction of muscle, an imbalance has regained full functions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
