What Causes A Painful Lump On Ankle?

I hurt my ankle a few years back and was in a air cast for 4 months because of a possible fracture on my growth plate. We got a x-Ray and they said nothing was wrong so we went back home . A couple weeks back my ankle was the size of a golf ball. It lets go on me so I fall on my ankle. It still hurts really bad and I am having trouble walking on it. What should I do? Should I go get a x Ray, or just rest. Need advice please

Hello,

It may be due fracture. Kindly follow up with orthopedic surgeon. He may procure X-ray to rule out fracture. For pain you can take tablet Acetaminophen.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
