Suggest Remedies For A Lump On The Achilles Tendon
I have a lump on my achilles tendon. It feels like a bruise. The tendon seems to tighten up when I sit for long periods of time. Yesterday I noticed that there was a lump that was very tender, but the swelling went down with ibuprophen. Should I be worried about this?
