Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi I am Dr Gopal Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
You have an area of tender and abnormal sensation spot about 2" in diameter below your leg on the inner side.
The possibility is 1. Sprain on ligament on the medial side of ankle joint.
2. swelling secondary to venous varicosities
3.Tendinopathy of tibialis posterior.
It will require direct examination of the patient to arrive at a probable diagnosis.
I suggest you consult your orthopedic surgeon for examination and treatment thereof.
