I have developed a hard painful lump above the outer right ankle. If walk for too long it s very painful and also too much pressure put on it when touching it a pain shoots down into heel. What do you think it could be? Surrounding tissue is soft and swollen but hard lump like piece of bone in middle.
Hello! Thank you for the query. Such lump is most likely a ganglion cyst. Due to some minor injury of joints and tendons, kind of herniation of tendon appears. It is filled with joint fluid. Can be painful. If it does not turn into a cancer. I suggest you to consult orthopedist or general surgeon. Soft tissues' ultrasound should be done. Ganglion cyst can be removed with small incision and local anesthesia. Hope this will help. Regards.
