What Does A Lump On The Ankle Indicate?
Almost a year ago I developed a lump around the area of my Ankle and it cause a significant amount of pain so I went to the local hospital and the doctor said it was a ganglion cyst and that it would go away on its own. The doctor didn’t really look at my foot and didn’t tell me anything. But here I am almost a year later and it’s stil there and it still causes pain, what should I do?
