Lump

[ADC]

Hi, I'm 13 and I like to sprint short distances. When ever I finish running I always get a lump above the right side of my right ankle, when I push on it, it doesn't hurt, but it is visible, and kind of gross. Is this something to worry about?

If it doesn't hurt than it can't be nothing to serious.. but it could also be swelling which may lead to a more serious injury. I would still go to your docs and have them take a look at it.

My be a ganglion. Nothing to worry about if it doesn't hurt, but it may be worth getting checked out just in case.

Okay, well, it goes away quickly. And it happens when I either run fast, or for a long time, like last time it happened I ran a 1.2 miles in 8:50, and the time before that 1 mile in 7:13.. It didn't used to happen to me though, it is more of a new development, it started over the summer.
