What Causes Lump On Ankle With Swelling?
I got hit with a large desk about 2 months ago right above my ankle bone. It swelled a bit and bruised, now there is nothing but a fairly large bump. Still quite tender when pushed on, but not when walking or running. Wonder if that is usual that it can still be so tender after that long or if I should go in to have it x-rayed

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.
As the lump is not painful you do not need to worry much. If it is restricting your functional ability you shouldn't be worried much as it be just a skin tissue.
Also if you wish to get assessed than an x-ray will be of guidance but not so sure if it can show anything.
