Yes, you can. I happen to have it, myself and also happen to be an RN. While it is unusual in the ankle, it does occur most prominently in athletes, such as skaters and skiers, where pressure and/or friction from footwear is the usual culprit.
Conservative treatment versus surgical removal of the bursa sac--the former is most often all that is needed--rest, elevation, possible aspiration if fluid becomes a problem.
