I had a fall about 6 months ago down some stairs and hit the front of my leg just above the ankle joint. The original lump from the fall is still there. It is solid and not filled with any liquid. Never had any pain apart from just after the fall until today where I could barely stand on the leg sporadically. Any ideas?
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough clinical examination is advised. As you have pain in the ankle and a lump as well I will advise you to undergo an x-ray or MRI of ankle to see possible soft tissue and bony injuries. Also, undergoing physical therapy like therapeutic ultrasound therapy should help reduce the lump as it is more looking like a muscular and skin tissue non flexibility. By ultrasound this should get mobilize and vanish. Also exercises for ankle is important to regain the stability and the mobility of the ankle joint. In my clinical practice such cases are referred to physical therapy and responds well. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.
