What Causes A Bump On Calf?

I have a bump on the side of my right calf, that is only there when I flex or cross my legs. And when I press on it, the area is kind of painful and also feels crunchy when I press on it. Sorry for the lack of an intelligent explanation, there is just no other way to explain it. What could this be?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

We have to rule out possible causes like an intramuscular lipoma.

Consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.

You might require an MRI scan in case of diagnostic confusion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
