Bulge in lateral ankle sprain
I sprained my left ankle 4 months ago, with in a week a boot cast was put on my leg. Now, I can walk and run without pain for hours. But when I do deep squats or rotate my left ankle towards extreme outside. I feel discomfort in my lateral ankle and a small hard bulge is visible right besides the ankle joint. I have gone to local doc and physio, all they say is keep on doing exercises. With this bulge I am afraid to go back to playing sports.

Yes .you need to continue to do exercises for proper rehabilitation.
The pain should come only when you do exercises and should subside within 10_15 mins of exercises.
If it prolongs more than an hour ..pls visit an orthopaedic for the same ..
Next Steps
there shouldn't be any swelling or redness after the exercises
