What Causes Painful Bump On Heel?

I am a 53 year-old female, and I worked at an Elementary school as an Instructional Assistant in another city, and played kick ball with our students, fell and hurt my foot two years ago in May. My heel has had quite a noticeable bump on it since then. It hurt for quite a while, and does not bother me as much as it used did at one time. However, I would like to know if I might have problems with it in the future, if I don t see a doctor?
