[|Human|] I have always had a puffy area around both ankles. I always thought it was fluid even though I was thin. Now I am obese at 5 3 and 185lbs. The fat around my left ankle is large and is growing. The right ankle remains the same. I was told it was a fatty tumor as it was unable to drain. How common is this? I am scheduled to have it removed as it putting pressure on my ankle and I also have torn a tendon. Is this common?
[|AI|]  I have a torn tendon (diagnosed by ultrasound) and a large lipoma pressing on it (outside ankle area too).  In addition to that, I have a strain (which keep swelling) of the ligament on the front of same ankle bone. Cannot wrap the ankle for the strain because of that lipoma on the underside of the same ankle bone.  I cannot wear a closed shoe or socks; fortunately its summer now. I'll do everything I can to avoid surgery.
