Could be tendon: Things of concern here are if there was an injury to this area at any time. The ankle seems to have a problem with Dorsiflexion which could involve the bone in the ankle. There could be bone impingement or perhaps a partial tear of a tendon. Seems like this has been going on for a while. This will require a CT scan or MRI.
