Undefined lump on calf above inside ankle. painless, there 8 months. doctor said was hypertrophy muscle. lump goes away when i flex. is it just muscle?

Probably...: If the mass changes position when you flex your muscles or move your ankle thrn it is likely muscle. If you have had an injury to that area sometimes there can be a hermiation of the muscle through its sheath of fascia. If the mass becomes painful or gets larger you should get it evaluated.
