What Could Be The Reasons For Lump On Bottom Of Heel Which Is Painful, Red, Warm And Swollen?
I have a lump on the bottom of the heel, approx size of a walnut. It is extremely painful, red, warm, swollen & I can t walk on it. My achilles tendon is sore now, and feels as if it s giving out. What could be wrong? I have a job where I m on my feet 24/7, haven t fallen or twisted it at all.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
According to your description , pain over your thighs seems to be inflammatory in nature.
I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination of thighs and rule out any infective cause.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
