Recently I have had pain with what looks like a bruise on outside of left ankle below the bone. It is a roundish bruise, that has been painful when walking. I can't figure out what this is, have put cold on it. It subsides and then today when walking was hurting again. Unlike a bruise, it doesn't go away, so it may not even be a bruise.

Has anyone else had anything like this? I have a sensory peripheral neuropathy..

I would have it looked at by a doctor. It could be simple, or serious.

are your feet/legs/ankles numb? mine are and that is how i find out that i sprained or broke an ankle when i see the black and blue. is it possible you sprained it?

There is a condition called Charcot foot:

I would see a doctor ASAP to prevent further damage.
Perhaps a brace or splint of some type could help, if you are
developing some deterioration in the joint, from this, or some other inflammatory process.
