I am sorry to tell you but no it is just a riped muscle and if i were you i would go to the hospital to get it checked just in case.
You should get it checked out by a doctor, however it probably means that you have a little inflammation in the area that will go away over time.
It could be a rheumatic nodule you can get them anywhere and they are able to move, However 3" seems like a long way.
First, you need to control the BP and cholesterol. You should be seeing a doctor about that. It could be normal stuff, but you should have it checked out to eliminate the possiblility of serious problems. You don't want to be having small strokes or spinal column issues at your age, you still have a long ways to go in life.
This kind of pain can often be caused by a bone spur. Bone spurs are tiny growths that form off of bones and can rub against surrounding nerves and tissues causing much damage and pain.
You have a weak ankle or it might break soon. I'm not sure.
Does a mild headache still mean you have a headache? Does a mild sprained wrist mean you have a sprained wrist. Yes, you either have carpal tunnel or you don't. The severity depends on whether you need an Advil or an operation. It's not a measure of degree of whether you have it or not, it's a measure of severity. Can you function with it or not? Talk to your doctor.
Options
Those people don't know what they are doing
Sprain
Other Traumatic Event
Need another X-ray/MRI
You could also get an orthopedic to evaluate it.
Probably just a pinched nerve
I get this with fingers cramping and drawing downward and cramps in leg and toes mostly at night but other times just putting on my shoes. Also muscle pulls in my back just by turning.
Most likely it is a blockage of the gallbladder or the biliary ducts.

It's a bone spur that builds up where the ligament(s) attach to the bone. It can be very painful. =What Causes a Heel Spur to Develop?= Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body but may also be the most deficient. The amount of calcium that we absorb from our food varies widely. Our age is one factor. An adolescent may absorb up to 75% of the calcium obtained from foods, while in adults the maximum absorption rate ranges from 20% to 30%. Even though our bones feel solid and seem permanent, they're just like any other body tissue- they're constantly being broken down and formed again. In an adult, 20 percent of bone calcium is withdrawn from bones and replaced each year. Thus, every five years the bones are renewed. Calcium is found in the extra cellular fluids and soft tissues of the body where it is vital to normal cell functioning. Much of the calcium in soft tissues is concentrated in muscle, although it is contained in the membrane and cytoplasm of every cell. When the body is deficient of calcium it begins to leach calcium from the bones. In many people this happens to be in the heel of the foot or some other weak area of the body. As the calcium is being leached, it forms an eruption (similar to a volcano). This eruption is the bone spur. A bone spur in the heel is called a heel spur.
The four basic types of fractures are compound, partial, complete, and closed.
I am sorry to tell you but yes, it can also be caused by washing your hands in cold water then going into a very warm room, and poor circulation to the hand.
