l recently got a hard lump on the front of my ankle, i did not sprain it or hit it off anything it has just appeared out of no where and it has been there for almost 2 weeks, it does not hurt and it makes a squeaking kind of feeling, like a finger rubbed on your teeth, any idea? thanks
HI, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor.1-I have studied your query in depth.2-IN my opinion, this hard lump in front of your ankle-of nowhere -is Synovial Cyst of the Tibialis Anterior.3-The squeaking feel is due to the inflamed tissue rolling over each other and nothing to worry much.4-I would advise-to see you Epworth surgeon-who would do X-ray ankle, CBC, to rule out any infective cause -?TB-a chronic cause which may be underlying its occurrence and would treat accordingly by proper antibiotics, NSAIDs and by surgical removal if it needs.5-Hope this would solve you query to your satisfaction.6-Wellcome for more queries to me On Chat Doctor. Thnks once again for your inquisitive query. Have a Good Day.!!
