Question : Is this normal? It looks like there is an indent in my ankle on my left leg. I was just to a bone specialist and had x-rays done and he said that everything was fine, but this is bothering me and does not look normal. Do you think it could be tendonitis of the peroneal?

It could be tendinitis. Indent over ankle could be due to associated swelling around it. Give rest to the area and elevate the limb.It will gradually weans off.
