I started having discomfort around my ankle recently and now it’s giving out, leading g to a sprain. At the hospital they took an X-ray and told me I have a cyst and sprain. I have hereditary multiple osteochondromas (benign tumors) on the bone. I am worried I have one causing the discomfort on my ankle and it’s not a cyst. I don’t have medical insurance right now so I can’t get an MRI. Can anyone read these photos

    Hi Vennessa, can I ask where are you, i think maybe you are in the USA, if you are their are free clinics where you could get it checked out.

    Even if you could put the x-ray online it would be no clearer to anyone than it was to the radiographer who originally looked at it and told you it's a cyst and as you say you suffer with osteochondromas so that would be the case, with a sprained ankle it can be really painful and you need to rest it.
