Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Sudden appearance of pain and swelling in a joint or on a bone indicates there is an injury to the bone (Hair line fracture) or a ligament tear.
I would like to know some more details on the problem to understand better and opine you specifically.
Did you have any injury in the past ?
If you had an injury ,how was it treated ?
Have you taken any xrays of the affected ankle ?
Is the lump tender and soft ?
Anticipating your response.
