I had sprained my ankle years ago and have developed a lump at the top of my ankle which is now causing pain. I have spoke to a surgeon and they had said that they will drain this lump. He had given me a medical term for the lump but cannot remember the name. Anyone know the name of this condition or were to find information about it?

Maybe your are speaking of a ganglion cyst.

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.
So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.
Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.
A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.
Heal your ankle fully & fast?

Hematoma? Ruptured ligament? This is a question that you should ask your physician. There are a number of relative factors involved with "long term effects." The first being severity of injury. Your age. Your overall, general health. Do you smoke?
How well can you read and comprehend? Books you might review are:
"The Injured Athlete" a Lipencott Publication
Rockwood and Greens Volume II, "Fractures in Adults." Specifically, look up Lauge and Hanson's Classification of Ankle Injuries.

The presence of a lump could be due to a hematoma (collection of blood) or it could be jammed tendons from spraining it, and also crossed ligaments.
