Pain In Feet, Lump On The Bottom Of Heel, Hurts While Walking. What Could It Be ?
Hi......i have been having pain in my feet for sometime now and the dr. told me about a yr. or so ago i had plantar faseitis . I noticed a lump so to speak a few weeks back on the bottom of my heel kind of close to arch that has gotten bigger. I just started wearing inserts in my shoes that help some but today i wore flip flops and it was several hours later i felt something that didn t feel right. The area is red and hurts to kinda touch or even walk on....what could it be?????

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query
You are suffering from planter fascitis & you had swelling near your heel.
So exam. of swelling is required. It may be inflammatory one.
So you have to visit an orthopaedic surgeon for exam. of foot& inv.as required.
Regards.
