Suggest Treatment For Pain Caused By Lump In Ankle
I have what feels like a small lump in the vein over my ankle bone ( the outside of my ankle) it feels bruised when touched and moves under the skin. The area is not dis colored or hot to the touch and it does not hurt to move my ankle only the knot itself hurts. Should I have this looked at and how urgent?
based from your description, it could a tendinous or a ganglioncyst. gout formation and arthritic lesions must also be ruled-out. a consult with your doctor is best for physical examination and clinical evaluation, especially if the lesion is bothering you. if it's a cystic formation, definitive management is surgical excision of the lesion. otherwise, medical management will ensue.
hope this helps.
good day!!
