What Causes Fluttering Sensation In The Ankle?

Odd fluttering vibration in my right ankle for just a few seconds, it comes and goes, usually if I am not in motion for a 15 minutes or more, but I have no pain at all, unless I run my finger over the area with mild force where the ankle bone is, the piece that sticks out like a ball, and I just did 4 miles and experienced zero pain.

The fluttering is due to twitches which can be related to mild nerve root irritation.
