Yeah, they don't come out real well in the photo. It is the white spots. They sit just above my ankle bone and they are kind of soft under the skin like they are made up of tissue of some sort but all bunched up. They don't move much when I push on them and my skin moves over them freely, so they are not 'in' the skin.

I've never seen anything like this. At first glance, it looked like a pile up of fat globs in one spot, but they are not squishy enough to be fat as I'd expect fat to be (if that makes any sense!).

I have no idea what caused it. One day, as I was stretching, I happened to notice it. It's more obvious when my ankle is flexed forward. Otherwise, they are barely noticeable. I couldn't even begin to fathom when they first appeared, but they've been there for at least a few months now... the ankle pain is more recent (and steadily becoming more of a problem), so I can't say if they are related or not.
