[|AI|]  Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. From your history and your job of on your feet for such a long period, the first diagnosis whicChatDoctores to my mind is a varicose vein of your leg, even though it could be confirmed only after a physical examination. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a Doppler ultrasound of both lower limb vessels, which could diagnose a varicose vein. However, it could be a bursa (a kind of benign cyst)of the ankle due to some kind of continuous pressure over the ankle. If this is diagnosed, then avoidance of pressure might reduce of it of its own. Further management would depend on the diagnosis made. Till then, you could go for an anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
