A member asked:

Would a mass in the achilles feel as hard as the achilles or would it feel a little softer than the achilles?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Mak Yousefpour answered

Depends: Mass could be calcified tendon which would feel harder, or it could be ganglionic cyst or bursa which are softer.

Dr Amico Jr and another doctor agreed
