See below: This problem mandates a real-time (face-to-face) meeting with a doctor. A history has to be taken along with a examination as well as labs and other tests. Only after all this will his doctor be in a position to tell him what's wrong and what needs to be done to help him.

Possibly...: From what you describe, the prominence is likely the navicular bone. If you feel from the ankle bone down to it, you'll likely feel a tendon. This is the posterior tibial tendon, which helps support the arch. Sometimes there is an "accessory" navicular present, which makes it even more prominent. If you are having pain, see a podiatrist. Otherwise, it is unlikely you need to be concerned.
