Ankle lump: In which part of your ankle is the lump—front, back, outer, inner? Back part could be achilles tendon, which should be checked by doc in case it's partially torn. Outer part suggests u may have pulled the tip off the fibula. Exam by a doc could pin answer down better.

Sprained Ankle: The lump is from the natural healing effects from the sprained ankle. Its like a small scarring inside. It should eventually go away but if it doesn't i would highly recommend good stretching before working out in order to prevent injury.
