hi. I have read your question and understand your concern.

painful reddish lump which increases after exercising, seems you have tendonitis. I suggest you give the area some rest. take painkillers like diclofenac seratiopeptidase combination twice daily. let the tendon heal.

if the area continues to be sore then you need to see a orthopedician.

hope this helps. for any further questions please get back to us. thanks.
