I have been using the treadmil for years now, the last week i have noticed the longer i stand or put any pressure on my right leg a small lump appears on my lower leg 4-5 inches above my ankle. It is squishy but does not hurt and is very noticeable. Is this something to worry about?
Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM. I studied and understood your query details. Based on the facts of your query,In My opinion you seem to suffer from CCES(Chronic Compartment Exertional Syndrome)of leg with Venous Lump appearing 4-5 inches above ankle,which is squishy,painless lump.m This lump is due to the Incompetent Perforator Vein,which pops out form the leg fascia-when the right leg is pressed or stressed or put to strain. You don't have to worry as being benign and Venous lump and as it is non-cancerous Lump. Color doppler study of the leg veins would fix the diagnosis.
Hope this reply would help you to resolve your Anxiety. Thnks Good Day!!
