Depends: There is a benign growth of bone to the back of the heel called haglunds deformity. If this is what u have then there nothing outside of surgery to get rid of it. To render is painless/asymptomatic should be your first priority. Local topical anti-inflammatory creams and pads may help and refrain from from ill fitted shoes.
