A member asked:

I have pain in my achilles tendon. i can be standing still, driving or walking. what is causing this and how can i stop it? there is a small lump also

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a foot: Ankle doc, that lump is indicating the achilles is not right......Certainly no physical activity i.E running or it will tear......A heel lift is a good idea, ice, massage etc.
