What could be the lump on the ankle after hitting it?
Patient: hi Doctor, i am a 18 year old boy weight about 10 and a half stone. i was playing football a few weeks ago when i got kicked to the ankle. at the time i could walk properly on it because it was bruised with a small lump. it has been a couple of months the lump is still there. the lump is situated on my right foot on my ankle below the right side of the ankle socket about 1 inch below it. At the moment i can run and walk on it but it i press down on it, it is painful. should i go get an x ray and do you reckon it could be factured Doctor: Hi, welcome to healthcare magic forum. I understand your concern.In my opinion it looks like haematoma formation has taken place in the ankle region(lump) and there may be chances of hair line fracture. So x-ray will be better idea followed by removal of haematoma by a surgeon. No need to worry. It is curable. Thanks
