[|Human|] I recently discovered a lump just above my left ankle and slightly to the left of my shin.  Sometimes it is more pronounced.I have in-toed with that foot since I was a child, and have fallen 2-3x in recent years.  Was just wondering if I should be concerned.
[|AI|]  Hello! Thank you for the query. This can be a lump caused by swelling due to ankle overload or stretched ankle. It may be also a varicose vein. Especially if it is soft and less visible when lying down and gets more visible at the end of the day. If you have also ankle pain, this is rather swelling. I suggest you to consult orthopedist if ankle problem sounds possible. If its more varicose vein, Doppler's ultrasound should be done. Hope this will help. Regards.
