A member asked:
Wide vertical bulge about 3" in length on fibularus longus/brevis that is compressible. is this a herniation? is there a vein or artery in this area?

Varicose vein!: Without seeing a picture, it's hard to know. Certainly varicose veins can give such an appearance. There is nothing that should herniate in that area of the body.
