What Causes A Painful Hard Lump Behind The Right Heel Along With Swelling In The Ankle?
I have been having pain on the back of my right heel for several months, especially when I get up in the morning and walk on it. Today I woke up and found that I have a large pea sized hard lump on the upper right side of my heel and there appears to be tenderness and swelling under my ankle on the right side. Don t know what it is.

Hi,
It might be due to a clinical condition known as plantar fasciitis .
As a first line of management, you can take simple analgesics like acetaminophen or Diclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist, better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
