Heel/Foot lump & Pain. - Foot Problems Message Board

Hi,

Just wanted to know if anyone here recognises these symptoms.

Pain & lump at back of left foot, about midway up heel bone.
The lump is small, with slight movement and quite hard, it hurts when a shoe, or trainer push against it whilst walking on it. It is a shocking stabbing pain, almost feels like it's been cut.
I can't walk through it and have to take the weight off the foot immediatly.

It doesn't hurt without shoes/trainers on at all. So I'm guessing the small lump is pushing against something! Have you heard of this and any idea what it may be?
I can't always find the lump. Some days it doesn't appear to be there. I may still get the pain though whilst walking.

I wouldn't say it's shoe specific, as I can be wearing the same shoes for months with no problems and then suddenly I will get the pain.

Thanks for reading!!

rsbird,
You aren't talking about your Achilles tendon are you? Is there a lump that hurt with pressure from the back of your shoes pushing on the back of your heel?

Hi!
I don't believe it is as high up as my achilles tendon, it's a little below and slightly to the left!
I can't push is hard enough with my hand to reproduce the pain, it is only when my weight is on it with a shoe pushing against it.

It's on the bone area, but the lump is moveable and hard, like a cist?? Maybe?

Is that possible?

Thanks!

Maybe you should go get it checked out by the doctor because cysts can grow big and cause alot of pain. It's easier to get rid of small ones.
