How To Treat A Large Painful Bump On Tendon Of Left Foot?

Hi, I m a female 55 years old. I never had a problem with my right foot until I broke my left foot and was in a boot for a few weeks. The right ankle where I managed to get the Achilles tendinitis is not getting better. I have a big lump on the tendon and its getting worse and the pain is awful. When I was seeing the bone dr bone I showed him my right foot and he showed me exercises to do (rocking back and forth on my tip toes on the right foot while keeping my left foot off the floor). I was since told that was not good advice. I take care of my elderly mom and staying off my feet isn t a great option but manageable if necessary. What is my next step to help me get better.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, looking to the history given here I could say that better to have analgesic medicine along with the exercise shown, and the best drug would be "Tab Diclofenac 50 mg" once in day, here the infection need to be ruled out as long as the lump is concern, hope this information helps, take care.
I find this answer helpful
