It’s around where I believe the posterior tibial tendon inserts into the calf. I’ve been having some foot and ankle pain that is kind of in line with posterior tibial tendinitis but can do a heel raise on one foot no problem without any pain.
The knot occasionally hurts but I can rub it out and make it a little less tight / painful, but it never quite goes away.
I’ll probably get it checked out by my doctor sometime but it’s not overly concerning. Just curious if anyone has experienced this?

Yes. It was diagnosed as shin splints in my case. Had a massage and needling and that got rid of it immediately, but it comes back unless you address whats causing the underlying lower leg issue.

That’s what my initial diagnosis was too, but I’m not sure what to make of it 6 months later.
