Each spot feels like a bad bruise but there's no discoloration and this pain came out of nowhere the other night. I can even feel the pain if its touch gently. The spots form a line and curve around my ankle. I can still walk and everything, but what if this worsens?

It sounds like you have a form of shin splints.
I have included a link to the Mayo Clinic website that describes the nature of shin splints.

Your problem could be a posterior tibialis tendonitis, but the placement of pain doesn't quite fit. Without more information or an examination, it's hard to say.
It could be a tendonitis given the description or even a nerve issue since it follows a pattern but has no coloration. I would go easy for a few days and if it doesnt subside a PT should be able to evaluate it. If i was in your shoes I wouldnt let it go out longer than a week.
I totally agree with Dr. Savage; your presentation of the chief complaint needs more clarifications. You need to be seen by a Doctor or a Physical Therapist for proper physical examination, they also need to know your age and other risk factors such as weight, edema or flatfeet as well. It could also be a sign of thrombosis in the saphenous vein close to your ankle. One or more of these could be a source or contributor to your ankle pain. You better visit a therapist if the pain persists.
From the description of tenderness spots inside of thigh down to ankle form a curve line inside the ankle, I know she has hip arthritis at beginning stage, the curve line around medial aspect of ankle bone is showing atrophy at hip according to Foot Reflexology diagnosis.

Hard to say, could just be soft tissue pain that will subside in a matter of days. The one differential is possible saphenous nerve irritation. That nerve runs along the inside of your lower leg and ends around your inside ankle bone. If things don't resolve relatively quickly, or worsen, may be a good idea to have it examined.
