Possible fracture???

Possible fracture???

Is it possible for a fracture to occur at the ankle without:
Swelling
Pain
Tenderness to the touch
Discoloration or bruising

I landed on the shallow sand straight down from standing on my surfboard ending up with my foot in a plantar flexed position.  This was a few days ago and nothing out of ordinary happened (the above items).  I do notice though there is a solid bone growth/ridge towards the anterior side of the fibula.  I did break the growth plate in my ankle over 10 years and I got it professionally taken care of and maybe think that is what happened after it healed.  I just never noticed it before.

I was hoping to get what your honest thoughts are.  I know ultimately the decision is up to me to get it checked out so please do not worry about that.

Thanks,

Rick

you should have the symptoms above if you had a fracture in the ankle unless you have neuropathy and can not feel pain.
i think that the bump is your old fracture.  if it doesn't hurt to walk and run, i doubt that you have a fracture.
