There is a small bump on the heel and it hurts. What do bumps on the heels mean: causes, signs, treatment. Can be done even at work

Easy gait and freedom of movement - all this becomes unattainable if you have a bump on your heel that greatly interferes with your movement.

What causes it to appear and how to treat this problem?

Let's talk about this in our article.

Why did the lump appear?

The main causes of the disease are improper distribution of the load on the foot. During movement, a person redistributes his weight to all parts of the leg. Works the heel, arch and toe. If the distribution is incorrect, the heel will receive more load. As a result, the deformation of the posterior region will increase. This usually occurs with pathologies such as flat feet, arthrosis of the joints, and osteochondrosis of the spine. Therefore, if your back heel hurts when walking, you need to look for the problem a little higher.

A lump above the heel may be the result of an injury. With fractures of the calcaneus, in rare cases, massive bone calluses form, which interfere with walking. Typically, this is the result of malunion.

Bumps above the heel appear when wearing the wrong shoes. The main reason is the small size and incorrect fullness of the boot. Never wear shoes that make you uncomfortable. The consequences of this may bother you for a long time.

The final factor in the formation of heel bunions is excess weight. Obesity flattens the foot, preventing normal shock absorption when walking. The causes of obesity are varied. But a heel bump becomes a serious problem for patients whose obesity is caused by diabetes. In such patients, blood flow is reduced and regeneration is slowed down. Such calluses often become trophic ulcers, which may not heal for years.

Symptoms

Of course, most often calluses on the heels manifest as pain. The pain ranges from mild to very severe. In some cases, the patient cannot step on the limb. Typically, pain manifests itself during active movements; at rest, pain in the leg does not bother the patient at all. The last stages are characterized by pain at rest.

The main problem with lumps is on the bone itself (exostosis). But you can see dense growths, abrasions, and redness on the skin. They are formed as a result of traumatization of the integument by external and internal factors. The layers of skin thicken, become rough and dense. Sometimes a wound forms at the site of the bump. If it is not healed in time, it will transform into an ulcer.

Aspirin baths

Take 10 aspirin tablets, crush them in a mortar and mix with water. Add a liter of boiling water to the gruel. Wait until the water has cooled to a comfortable temperature and dip your sore heel into it. Keep until completely cool. 10-15 such procedures lead to pain relief.

Potato compress

Take one medium potato tuber and grate it on a fine grater (like potato pancakes). Squeeze out excess liquid, apply the paste onto gauze and apply to the sore spot. The compress must be left overnight. The course of treatment lasts one week. Potatoes relieve swelling and eliminate inflammation.

Prevention of this disease lies in the correct selection of shoes, the formation of the correct arch of the foot, and weight loss.

Bump on the heel, behind - Haglund's deformity

What are Haglund deformities?

Sometimes the back of the heel bone, just where the Achilles tendon attaches, becomes deformed by a small growth with a medical name - Haglund's deformity. The growth has a bone structure and puts pressure on both the mucous bursa and the heel tendon.

Symptoms

From time to time, inflammation of the mucous bursa occurs, which does not, however, lead to the appearance of a growth - this pathology is called retrocalcaneal bursitis and the treatment of this disease is completely different.

Causes

Diagnostics

Magnetic resonance imaging .

Timely diagnosis of Haglund's deformity will make it possible to prevent Achilles tendon rupture. which can occur without visible injury, only due to the fact that the growth has been pressing hard on the ligament for a long time.

Treatment (video)

Depending on the condition of the growth, doctors choose a conservative or surgical treatment method.

Conservative treatment

Using ice packs
Physiotherapy
Comfortable shoes

Surgery

If the growth is too large, therapeutic methods of treatment do not help, and cystic changes have appeared in the tendon, a decision is made to perform an operation, the essence of which is to excise the bone growth and remove the inflamed mucous bursa.

Any new growth on the body is a cause for concern with justifiable fears. The appearance of a lump on the heel, in addition to aesthetic inconvenience, causes pain over time and the inability to choose shoes.

A lump on the leg causes discomfort and pain

In addition, the unspecified nature of the tumor can cause irreparable damage to health.

The heel consists of a bone, to the bony protrusion of which the Achilles tendon of the gastrocnemius muscle, which moves the foot, is attached. The outside of the heel is covered with skin and underlying fatty tissue.
The appearance of a lump on the heel on the foot can be osteoma or osteoblastoma. A mandatory x-ray can refute these assumptions and reveal a growing osteophyte on the heel protrusion behind the Achilles tendon - Haglund's deformity.

An x-ray will clearly show whether there is a growing osteophyte on the heel protrusion

The cause of its occurrence is often orthopedic pathology of the legs and feet. These include:

high arch of the foot;
flat feet;
varus (O-shaped) or valgus (X-shaped) installation of the legs.

Besides, loss of elasticity of the Achilles tendon(as a result of injury or inflammation), can also lead to this pathology.

The decisive moment for the formation of a lump on the back of the heel is a combination of factors:

increased load on the feet due to either professional activity or excess weight;
incorrectly selected shoes.

Wearing shoes with high, hard backs not only contributes to the formation of Haglund's deformity, but also provokes the constant formation of callus bumps on the heels, being a kind of indicator of people predisposed to this pathology.

An old leathery callus or an osteophyte?

The endless formation of blisters in the same place leads to a protective increase in the layer of horny cells of the epidermis, which over time takes the form of a bump on the heels, derived from shoes.

An old leathery callus may be an osteophyte.

These skin layers, initially having a white color, acquire a yellowish tint over time. They do not entail any unpleasant consequences and do not cause pain, but have a constant tendency to restore the area of the growth as it is removed.

Why do osteophytes grow?

Long before the rocky hard bump appears on the heel, pain and swelling arise, which spreads from the heel tubercle along the Achilles tendon upward.

The reason for this is the developing inflammation in response to constant injury to the mucous membrane of the bursa and tendon.

In order to understand why a lump appears on the heel and it hurts, it is necessary to understand the mechanism of injury.
Predisposing moments of improper foot installation increase the friction force of the Achilles tendon with the posterior calcaneal mucous bursa, located above the tendon attachment site and designed to reduce the friction force between the tendon fibers and the heel bone. Both bursitis and tendonitis occur at the same time.

Osteophyte of the calcaneus

Osteophyte (bone growth), which appears on the back of the calcaneus just above the insertion of the Achilles tendon, is called Haglund's deformity, named after the author who first described this disease. Haglund's disease is a fairly common cause of posterior calcaneal pain. The clinical diagnosis of the syndrome is most often confused with Achilles tendon bursitis and rheumatoid arthritis, since the clinical picture is quite similar in these pathologies. See symptoms below.

Anatomy of the heel region

The calcaneus is the largest bone in the foot. The Achilles tendon, the largest and most powerful tendon in the human body, is attached to its tuberosity. By contracting the posterior calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus), the Achilles tendon pulls on the heel bone, allowing plantar flexion of the foot. This function allows us to walk, run, stand on our toes, and jump. Between the tubercle of the calcaneus and the Achilles tendon is the posterior calcaneal mucous bursa, which helps the tendon glide easily when the foot moves. Such bags are found in almost all joints, for example, in the elbow, shoulder, etc.

Pathogenesis of Haglund's deformity

During constant friction of the Achilles tendon, inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bursa begins. This chronic multi-month impact is transmitted to the posterior calcaneal tubercle and pathological cartilage slowly begins to form, changed, often with sharp spines. This can even be seen on an x-ray. The formation of this cartilage occurs due to the body’s protective reaction. The desire to strengthen the area of constant irritation and improve tendon gliding. But, unfortunately, pathological cartilage is not capable of this. It turns out to be a vicious circle.

The pressure on the bursa and Achilles tendon increases even more, which increases inflammation, pain and swelling. Inflammation of the mucous bursa and Achilles tendon without bone deformation is called achillobursitis (posterior calcaneal bursitis). Typically, bursitis precedes Haglund's deformity.

Patients do not pay much attention to the “bump,” thinking that it is a callus until it hurts. And as a rule, this condition is quite difficult to treat conservatively. This is why it is so important to see an orthopedist in the early stages of Haglund's disease.

Causes of Haglund's deformity

High arches can contribute to Haglund's deformity because in a person with high arches, the heel bone is tilted posteriorly and the Achilles tendon rubs more against the normal heel tubercle, causing it to enlarge. Eventually, due to this constant irritation, the bursa and tendon become inflamed.
Stiffness (decreased elasticity) of the Achilles tendon may also increase the risk of Haglund's deformity as it rubs more against the heel tuberosity. In contrast, a tendon that is more flexible results in less pressure on the posterior calcaneal bursa.
Planovalgus foot deformity or varus deviation of the calcaneus changes the biomechanics of foot movement and increases the pressure of the Achilles tendon on the heel bone, triggering this pathological mechanism.

Symptoms of Haglund's deformity

Haglund's deformity itself can occur without pain and inflammatory symptoms. Only pathological exostosis (bump on the heel) is noted on the back of the heel. The deformity usually does not cause any problems with foot function. But in most cases, the deformity is accompanied by inflammation of the mucous bursa and tendon sheath, and swelling. Then patients experience pain when walking, and sometimes at rest.

The syndrome can occur on one or both feet.

Signs and symptoms of Haglund's deformity include:

A noticeable bump on the back of the heel;
Pain in the area of the Achilles tendon;
Swelling, calluses on the back of the heel area;

It is pain that forces the patient to see a doctor.

Diagnosis of Haglund's deformity

Diagnosis begins with a patient interview and a detailed physical examination. Be sure to look at the back of the heels to make sure there is no heel varus (heel pointing inward).

In case of varus deviation of the calcaneus, a certain surgical technique is used - corrective osteotomy. Standard surgical methods will not exclude the possibility of relapse (recurrence of the disease). Usually the diagnosis is obvious without additional diagnostic methods. But radiographs must be taken to rule out other causes of heel pain.

In controversial situations, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to rule out a disease called achilles tendinitis, which is similar in symptoms. For example, after injuries to the Achilles tendon, a dense scar (in the form of a lump) appears at the site of injury and, as a rule, it is painful. It can be confused with Haglund's deformity if the patient does not remember the moment of injury.

Treatment of Haglund's deformity

Treatment of Haglund's deformity can be divided into conservative and surgical. In the vast majority of cases, treatment begins with conservative techniques. Surgery is usually performed when conservative treatment fails and pain persists.

Conservative treatment

If Haglund's disease is accompanied by pain, then the first step is to relieve inflammation from the affected mucous membrane of the bursa and Achilles tendon:

During an exacerbation, wear shoes with a soft back or without a back (clogs);
Local use of anti-inflammatory analgesic ointments (for example: dolobene gel, voltaren, traumeel);
Taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (for example: ketonal, nurofen, nise);
Physiotherapeutic methods: magnetotherapy, laser therapy, shock wave therapy (SWT)
Wearing an orthosis that limits movement.

These simple and widely available methods will allow you to return to normal walking as quickly as possible.

Surgery

If conservative methods of treating Haglund's deformity are ineffective, surgical treatment is performed using various techniques, which depend on the shape and degree of the deformity. The goal of most surgeries is to remove bony exostosis at the back of the heel to relieve pressure on the bursa and Achilles tendon. Inflamed, swollen tissues will return to normal volume when the pressure is removed.

If pain, swelling, and inflammation of the calcaneal structures predominate, then in addition to resection (cutting off) of the exostosis, the mucous bursa is removed. Because it will continue to hurt even after surgery.

Removal of exostosis (spurs) of the heel bone. This operation can be performed under conduction or local anesthesia in an open traditional way through a small (4-5 cm) incision outward from the Achilles tendon, or minimally invasively through 2 5 mm incisions using video endoscopic technology.

Open method.
During the operation, the Achilles tendon is moved medially (inward) with instruments to eliminate the possibility of damage. Next, the exostosis is cut off with a medical saw. Sharp edges are cleaned by cutting with side sharpening. If necessary, the mucous bursa is excised. The wound is sutured and a sterile dressing is applied.
Endoscopic method.
As a rule, patients move in an orthosis for the first week to reduce mobility of the foot and, consequently, swelling, pain, and hematoma.

Wedge-shaped osteotomy of the calcaneus.

This method of surgical treatment of Haglund syndrome is used if the patient has a high arch of the foot and, as a result, the angle of the heel bone is greater. It follows from this that the pressure of the posterior calcaneal tubercle on the Achilles tendon will be greater. To do this, the surgeon cuts out a wedge during the operation in the posterior part of the heel bone and fixes it with titanium screws, as shown in the diagram. This results in a relative decrease in the angle and the tubercle no longer exerts strong pressure on the tendon.
Corrective osteotomy of the calcaneus.
This is the third type of operation - elimination of varus deviation of the calcaneus.

After operation

As a rule, during the first week after surgery for Hoogland's deformity, patients move independently, limiting the load on the operated leg, but sometimes crutches are required. In the early postoperative period, anti-inflammatory painkillers and antibiotics are prescribed. Dressings are carried out until the wound heals. Physiotherapy can be performed from the first day after surgery. These methods can reduce swelling and pain after surgery. Typically, 10 sessions of magnetic therapy and laser therapy are prescribed. Stitches are usually removed between 10 and 14 days. Sometimes the suture is removed intradermally with absorbable sutures. In this case, there is no need to remove anything. Complete rehabilitation takes place in 4-6 weeks with the first type of operation (removal of exomtosis). For the other two types of surgery, recovery may take 2-3 months. While the heel bone is healing.

Prevention of Hoogland's deformity

Wearing shoes with soft backs.
Use shoes with 2-4 cm heels for high arches.
If you have flat feet or planovalgus deformity, you need to wear custom orthopedic insoles every day.

Don't self-medicate!

Only a doctor can determine the diagnosis and prescribe the correct treatment. If you have any questions, you can call orask a question about.

The largest tendon in humans is the Achilles (heel) tendon. The Achilles tendon is attached to the tubercle of the heel bone, however, this fixation is not “tight”; between the tendon and the heel bone there is a space filled with mucus, which reduces the friction of the tendon on the bone, it is called the mucous bursa.

What are Haglund deformities?

Popularly, Haglund's deformity is confused with exostosis (Achilles spur), a disease that has a completely different etiology and treatment.

Symptoms

Due to a growth on the back surface of the heel bone, the heel becomes enlarged, in addition to this there are other signs of the disease, such as:

inflammation (strong or mild) around the growth site;
swelling of the back of the heel;
frequent appearance of a water bubble in the area where the shoes are attached;
discoloration of the back of the heel (not always);
the growth can have a hard or soft consistency.

Mucous bursa Haglund deformities Normal calcaneus

Causes

Although the etiology of Hagunda deformity is still unknown, some doctors are confident that there are genetic roots of this disease.

There is also every reason to talk about factors predisposing to pathology, such as:

constant wearing of tight, high-backed shoes;
the presence of flat feet and the foot falling inward;
pathologically high arch of the foot.

Diagnostics

Diagnosis of Haglund's deformity, however, as with the diagnosis of any other disease, is extremely important. Specifically in this case, it is necessary to accurately determine whether the bone element predominates in the body of the growth or not. To find out this is carried out radiography.

In cases where the x-ray shows the absence of a bone element, that is, there is no growth, as it were, to examine the condition of the soft tissues, tendons and mucous bursa, it is prescribed Magnetic resonance imaging.

Timely diagnosis of Haglund's deformity will make it possible to prevent this, which can occur without visible injury, only because the growth has been pressing hard on the ligament for a long time.

A foot that is too high can cause a bunion to form on the back of the heel.

Treatment (video)

Depending on the condition of the growth, doctors choose a conservative or surgical treatment method.

Conservative treatment

The goal of therapeutic treatment is to relieve inflammation from the mucous membrane of the bursa. If this can be done, then the swelling surrounding the bursa goes away and, as a result, the pressure on the tendons stops.

The main components of treatment for Haglund's growth are:

– to prevent the swelling from spreading, apply a cold heating pad to the bump (this can be a plastic bag filled with ice cubes and wrapped in a thick towel).
Prescription of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs – self-administration of medications is not recommended, as this can cause angioedema and other life-threatening conditions.
Physiotherapy – is especially effective when calcaneal tendon tenopathy is diagnosed.
– people with high arches are not recommended to wear shoes without heels, and the back of the shoes should be soft, or there should be no heel at all (summer option).
Silicone patch for growth – this measure alone can reduce pressure when wearing shoes and relieve a person from constant heel pain.
Immobilization of the Achilles tendon – sometimes doctors are forced to put an orthosis on the sore foot for 2-3 weeks, in 40% of cases this helps to avoid a growth on the heel.

The frequent appearance of a water callus may be an indicator of the development of a heel bump

Surgery

If the growth is too large, therapeutic methods of treatment do not help, and cystic changes have appeared in the tendon, a decision is made to perform an operation, the essence of which is to excise the bone growth and remove the inflamed mucous bursa.

It happens that during the operation the surgeon also has to excise cysts that have formed inside the heel tendon.

Prevention

Preventive methods are quite simple, but at the same time effective:

Never wear shoes with a hard back.
People with high arches are not recommended to wear flat shoes, that is, a heel, at least a small one, must be present.
For those suffering from flat feet, insoles with arch support are required in all shoes; it is better that they (the insoles) are made individually.
People involved in sports should avoid heel running and, in general, try not to run on hard, hard surfaces (that is, it is better to run in a stadium than in a gym).

Throughout life, feet are exposed to constant stress and influences from the environment and other factors. This has an adverse effect on the condition of the limbs. Women are supposed to carefully monitor the condition of their lower extremities; ladies often wear uncomfortable and narrow shoes.

Some pathologies in the initial stages do not cause discomfort, but later turn into a lot of troubles. A lump on the heel becomes a nuisance. Appears from behind and causes significant discomfort.

Structurally, the lump above the heel is a bone growth that enlarges the heel. It can be hard and soft to the touch.

At the initial stages, the growth on the legs is almost invisible and does not cause any inconvenience. Gradually, comfortable shoes become too small, swelling and pain appear, indicating an inflammatory process. The growth at the back causes inconvenience to its owner and causes pain. A serious inflammatory process begins, the leg hurts constantly.

In most cases, they do not go to the doctor right away when the discomfort becomes obvious, the pain is unbearable, and the lump moves up the leg. Although in the beginning it is much easier to deal with the violation.

Reasons for development

Doctors identify the reasons that are most likely to cause the appearance of a lump above the heel:

Constantly wearing tight or too narrow and uncomfortable shoes;
Mechanical damage leading to inflammation;
The appearance of a callus on the heel, the development of a heel spur;
Overweight.

It is important to identify the reasons that provoke the occurrence of a pathological lump on the heel. The nature of the treatment depends on the sources.

Treatment is not prescribed until a series of examinations are performed to determine the presence of bone tissue in the growth. Most often, the main method of diagnosis is an x-ray.

If the lump is without bone, the next step is magnetic resonance imaging, which will show the presence and condition of tissues, tendons and muscles inside the lump on the legs, and will suggest a way to quickly get rid of the pathology.

Often with pathology, a serious consequence appears - a rupture of the Achilles tendon under the skin, in addition to constant pain. It is important to carry out a timely and correct diagnosis; without a competent doctor, it is impossible to perform the action.

Treatment methods for heel growths

Treatment of a lump above the heel is carried out in various ways and methods. Only a qualified doctor can accurately determine the need for these in a specific situation. Helps to quickly get rid of growth:

Ultrasound therapy.
Electrophoresis.
Use for blockade of drugs that are injected into the growth. The option is dangerous and can cause the development of heel necrosis. This complication often occurs if the dosage is chosen incorrectly. Treatment with medications should be carried out exactly as recommended by the doctor, and should not be taken independently.
Traditional medicine recipes.
Use of orthopedic insoles. Thanks to the use of devices, an even distribution of the load in the legs over the foot area is achieved. The method is appropriate if a child is being treated.
Shock wave method of influencing the lesion.
Exposure to laser beam.
Surgery.

Each method shows satisfactory results for the relevant indications.

Conservative treatment

The goal of conservative treatment is to relieve swelling and inflammation from the mucous membrane of the bursa. When the swelling subsides, the pressure in the legs disappears, and the lump above the heel gradually disappears.

It is possible to treat in a conservative way using a set of measures that are used or excluded in the individual case of the disease:

Operation

When therapeutic treatment does not produce results, the doctor sends for surgical removal of the growth. The operation is indicated for cystic processes and changes in the tendon. The purpose of surgery is to remove the growth from the bone and the inflamed mucous membrane of the bursa. This way you can quickly get rid of the bump.

Sometimes, during surgery, a cyst that appears in the tendon is removed. It is important to correctly determine the causes and structure of the formation that has arisen in order for the operation to work.

Folk recipes

Treatment with folk remedies often shows positive results. The use of any method, especially when it comes to treating a child, should be agreed with the attending physician. The doctor will really evaluate the effectiveness of using the method and prevent possible complications.

The listed funds collect a lot of positive reviews and have been used by people for a long time.

Prevention

The best treatment for any disease is prevention. Simple measures are designed to protect a person from long-term treatment and help avoid recurrence of the disease.

To prevent a bump from appearing above the heel, try to do the following:

You should not buy shoes that are uncomfortable and tight, in the hope that they will stretch and fit. By the time the expectations are met, the leg will already be significantly deformed. This is especially true for a child’s shoes; children’s bones are more prone to change.
When choosing a model, it is better to choose shoes with a soft back;
For everyday use, it is better to buy shoes whose heels do not exceed 6 cm. Wear tall models on holidays and special occasions.
Whenever possible, try to give your feet time to rest by taking off your shoes for a while;
Your lifestyle should be as active as possible; you should not ignore the simplest morning exercises.
You should regularly use a foot cream that relieves fatigue and helps get rid of heaviness in each leg.
Try to keep your weight normal.

The recommendations are completely simple and accessible. If you overcome laziness and introduce rules into your daily routine, you will be able to protect yourself from troubles with your legs. Gradually, such moments will become the norm of everyday life, and your legs will always remain beautiful and healthy.

If there are bumps on the heels, the causes and treatment of the tumor are of interest to all patients. The disease is common and causes significant inconvenience. A heel bump is a growth that forms on the back of the heel where it attaches to the tendon.

In medicine, this disease is called Haglund's deformity. The growth that appears at the back of the heel is made of bone tissue. It puts pressure on the mucous bursa, which is located between the heel bone and the tendon. Therefore, this place not only hurts, but also swells. Neoplasm is a problem both physiological and aesthetic.

Not in all cases, growths appear after inflammation; sometimes this can be a separate disease that can be treated with other methods. Normal inflammation of the mucous membrane is not a terrible disease, but it is also accompanied by unpleasant sensations.

Why did the lump appear?

To date, there is no comprehensive explanation for the reasons for the appearance of cones. Doctors do not dare to confidently say what causes the disease. The main theory of the formation of cones is a hereditary factor, a predisposition to the disease. Thus, doctors often note the presence of the disease in close relatives.

If we talk about factors that can provoke the disease, there are several of them. Tight shoes not only cause discomfort and promote the formation of blisters, but can also cause more serious problems. You should be careful when choosing shoes, as if you take the wrong approach, you can get consequences in the form of a large build-up. Shoes with high and stiff backs can also cause a bunion.

An incorrectly placed foot can cause the foot to become deformed over time. As a result, such an implicit problem as flat feet becomes global. Those who suffer from flat feet should purchase special insoles to make walking easier. Physiological foot problems also contribute to the formation of bunions. These include heels sinking inward or high arches. These deformities are transmitted at the genetic level and are most often visible in childhood.

Characteristic symptoms of Haglund's disease

The main feature is the protrusion of the bone beyond the contour of the leg. This deformation is noticeable both externally and to the touch. Other characteristic symptoms include:

pain in the area of growth formation;
inflammatory process around the growth;
increase in heel size, leg swelling;
the appearance of calluses when your feet rub against shoes;
discoloration of the back of the leg.

Diagnosis of the disease

First, you need to find out whether the patient really has Haglund's deformity. The disease is diagnosed by the predominance of the bone composition of the growth. To accurately determine this, it is necessary to take an x-ray. If the result is negative, but the problem still exists, doctors may prescribe magnetic resonance imaging to determine the nature of the bunions in the foot. The fact is that the cause of pain and growth can be fluid that is retained inside the mucous membrane, and this also indicates illness.

Treatment of cones should begin immediately after the correct diagnosis is made. If measures are not taken, the tendon in the foot may rupture, and then a long recovery process will be required, the patient will be immobilized for a long time. The simplest, but not very accurate diagnostic method is palpation. In this way we can guess what the nature of the growths is. Haglund's disease is characterized by both soft and hard forms of the bunion. So palpation will confirm the presence of a problem, but will not make an accurate diagnosis.

Treatment of cones: conservative and surgical methods

Several approaches are used to get rid of pits. You can treat the disease with folk remedies or remove the lump entirely. Conservative treatment consists of eliminating inflammation, as a result of which swelling goes away and pressure on the tendon decreases. Here are some ways to treat bumps at home:

ice compresses - cold water and ice stop the inflammatory processes, so the lump stops growing;
anti-inflammatory drugs as prescribed by a doctor;
gymnastics with a therapeutic bias develops the swollen area of the leg;
wearing comfortable shoes;
immobilization of the heel tendon - in some cases, the immobilization method helps prevent the development of the problem.

If conservative treatment does not bring visible results, doctors strongly recommend removing the growth through surgery. The growth causes pain. A person cannot put on shoes, it is difficult for him to walk. And the radical method helps to get rid of the lump and inflamed mucous membrane. After a course of therapy, the patient can return to normal life.

Remember that if the lump is not removed in time, cysts may develop inside the mucous bursa, which pose a serious danger, since at some point they will rupture.

Folk remedies

Along with well-known methods, traditional medicine can also be used. Such advice only helps at the initial stage of the disease, as soon as the lump appears. If you regularly follow folk recipes, you can get rid of this problem forever. Using regular iodine in its pure form and in combination with other components will help in the fight against bumps. You can take regular soap and grate it on a fine grater. Then smear the affected area of skin, rinse, and then draw an iodine mesh there. The recipe is extremely simple, but effective: it relieves pain and relieves inflammation.

You can take camphor oil and rub the cone generously, then apply iodine. Such procedures must be performed for a month, after which a significant result will be noticeable. The well-known potato can provide health benefits and help fight bumps. To do this, the vegetable is peeled and its peel is used, which is boiled in a pan. The decoction is added to a basin of hot water and the feet are steamed there. Add water as it cools. You can take foot baths without restrictions. This method is one of the most accessible.

Bee products are famous for their antibacterial properties and analgesic effect. It is necessary to stock up on propolis, because this is the best remedy for rubbing. No ointment compares to a natural product. Knead the propolis ball in your hand until soft and then rub the bump. The procedure is carried out every day. If it is not possible to obtain propolis in its pure form, you can use an alcohol tincture.

You can make a compress using 1 part iodine, 1 part lemon juice and 2 aspirin tablets. Mix all components until a paste forms. The product is applied to the sore spot, covered with cellophane and a warm scarf for warmth. Treatment should be continued for 3 days, after which you need to take a break and then continue.

In combination with such procedures, it is appropriate to drink a lot of liquid, preferably a diuretic. Medicinal herbs will help cleanse the body from the inside. Bearberry, birch buds, and lingonberries help well. Every disease needs prevention. If you take precautions, the problem of cones will not arise at all. It is not difficult to monitor the condition of your feet. Choose comfortable shoes, because health is more important than beauty!

Symptoms

The mucous membrane may become inflamed, without the formation of a growth. This phenomenon is called retrocalcaneal bursitis, which requires a completely different treatment than a bump-like phenomenon on the heel. The heel bone at the back is covered with a growth, which leads to an increase in the size of the heel. In addition, the lump has the following symptoms:

An inflammatory process appears around the growth;

The back of the heel also swells;

A water bubble appears on the skin that most often comes into contact with shoes;

Very rarely, but still, there is a change in the color of the heel;

The growth has a soft or hard structure.

Why does a lump appear?

A lump on the heel may appear due to the following reasons:

If a person wears uncomfortable and tight shoes;

If the heel is injured and the tissue becomes inflamed;

Excess weight puts a lot of stress on the feet;

A lump may appear due to the appearance of a callus;

Flat feet, arthrosis of the joints and other similar diseases can lead to the appearance of heel spurs.

The listed causes and symptoms of the appearance of a lump indicate that the correct treatment needs to be carried out to eliminate the defect.

Diagnostics

Experts call a bump on the heel Haglund's deformity. The examination is to determine whether there is a bone element in the growth. To do this you need to take an x-ray. If, after an x-ray, no bone is found in the formation, you need to carefully examine the soft tissues, tendons, and mucous bursa. To do this, the doctor orders a magnetic resonance imaging scan.

With timely diagnosis of a lump, you can prevent rupture of the Achilles tendon, which can occur due to prolonged pressure on the ligament.

Treatment methods for heel bumps

Treatment of a bump on the heel is carried out using the following methods:

Electrophoresis;
Laser therapy;
Ultrasound;
Shock wave method;
Blockades with drugs that eliminate pain. A special solution is injected inside the cone. But such treatment is dangerous. It can lead to the development of heel bone necrosis if the dose is incorrectly calculated and the injection is administered incorrectly;
Orthopedic insoles that distribute the load over the entire foot and reduce heel pain while walking;
Traditional medicine;
Surgical intervention.

The doctor must determine which treatment method to use in a particular case on an individual basis.

We treat the lump in a conservative way

Conservative treatment is to relieve inflammation in the mucous membrane. If the swelling is successfully removed, the tendons stop suffering from pressure.

Haglund's growth can be successfully treated with ice compresses. It is recommended to apply a heating pad with cold water to the resulting formation.

Additionally, the doctor may prescribe non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which must be taken strictly according to the regimen, adhering to the recommended doses.

It is useful to perform therapeutic exercises, which are excellent for treating heel tendon tenopathy.

To reduce pressure while wearing shoes, and also to relieve constant pain in the heel, you can stick silicone patches to the growth itself.

We treat a lump surgically

If the growth is large, or when conservative treatment methods do not help, the doctor resorts to surgery. The operation is also performed when a cystic change appears in the tendons. Thanks to the intervention, the bone growth is excised and the inflamed mucous bursa is removed. In some situations, the surgeon also excises a cyst that has appeared inside the heel tendon.

Preventive measures

To prevent unpleasant and painful growths on the heels, it is important to listen to the following expert advice:

Avoid tight and uncomfortable shoes;
Do not wear shoes with very high heels. It is recommended to wear shoes with heels no more than six centimeters. This height distributes weight evenly across the entire foot;
If you have to be on your feet for a very long time, it is recommended to take replacement shoes to work. At your desk, you can give your legs some freedom for a while by taking off your shoes and doing a little exercise for your toes and feet.
Lead an active lifestyle;
Eat right to keep your weight at the same level;
Use special creams for feet;
Take care of your feet. To relieve fatigue in the legs, there are special creams that will refresh and keep the lower extremities youthful.

We treat cones with folk remedies

Treatment of heel bumps using traditional medicine should be carried out only after consultation with a doctor. Effective recipes for treating formations on the heels:

Boil the potatoes with the skins on. After crushing it, mix it with kerosene. Place your feet in the hot mixture for twenty minutes. Upon completion of the procedure, dry your feet with a warm towel and put on warm socks. Potato compress can be done no more than twelve times;
Make a small cake from honey and oatmeal (you need to take a teaspoon of each ingredient). Steam your feet, dry them with a towel and apply the cake to the bump. Secure with a bandage, bag and put on socks. The course of treatment is ten days;
Mix the powder of six aspirin tablets with iodine (50 mg). Lubricate the bumps on your heels with the resulting mixture twice a day for a month. At the same time, it is recommended to drink silicon-activated water;
Mix the yolk of a chicken egg with a tablespoon of honey. Place the mixture in the refrigerator. Before going to bed, steam your feet, wipe dry and lubricate any bumps that appear with the resulting product. Put on your socks and go to bed. In the morning the mass is washed off. Before each use, the product should be slightly warmed in a water bath.
Now you know why heel bumps occur, what the symptoms are, and how they can be treated.

Why did the lump appear?

To date, there is no comprehensive explanation for the reasons for the appearance of cones. Doctors do not dare to confidently say what causes the disease. The main theory behind the formation of cones is a hereditary factor, a predisposition to the disease. Thus, doctors often note the presence of the disease in close relatives.

Characteristic symptoms of Haglund's disease

The main feature is the protrusion of the bone beyond the contour of the leg. This deformation is noticeable both externally and to the touch. Other characteristic symptoms include:

pain in the area of growth formation;
inflammatory process around the growth;
increase in heel size, leg swelling;
the appearance of calluses when your feet rub against shoes;
discoloration of the back of the leg.

Diagnosis of the disease

Treatment of cones: conservative and surgical methods

ice compresses - cold water and ice stop the inflammatory processes, so the lump stops growing;
anti-inflammatory drugs as prescribed by a doctor;
gymnastics with a therapeutic bias develops the swollen area of the leg;
wearing comfortable shoes;
immobilization of the heel tendon - in some cases, the immobilization method helps prevent the development of the problem.

Remember that if the lump is not removed in time, cysts may develop inside the mucous bursa, which pose a serious danger, since at some point they will rupture.

Folk remedies

A lump appeared on the back of the heel

Due to heavy loads and wearing uncomfortable shoes, our heels are often damaged. One of them is the formation of lumps on the back of the heel bone.

At first they do not cause any discomfort to the person. But over time, the lump grows and becomes the cause of pain and discomfort while walking. There is also a risk of rupture of the Achilles tendon, which subsequently threatens obstacles in movement.

Nature and causes of education

The bump is a kind of growth protruding from the back of the heel. It can be of different nature:

bone formation;
inflammation of soft tissues and tendons;
bone formation accompanied by inflammation.

The growth resembles a tubercle in appearance. Depending on the composition, it can be hard to the touch or, on the contrary, soft, swollen, with the formation of liquid.

Symptoms:

pain;
skin redness;
edema;
possible burning;
the formation of a compaction protruding from the heel bone.

The causes of formation may be:

wearing narrow, uncomfortable shoes;
shoes with hard backs;
foot injuries;
complication from untreated calluses;
the presence of diseases that provoke the formation of a growth: flat feet, arthrosis, exostosis.

The method of treating a growth depends on its nature. Therefore, if you discover damage, you need to go to a medical facility and undergo x-ray diagnostics. Since by touch it is not always possible to accurately determine what the growth consists of, especially when the patient is overweight. That is why you should not engage in self-medication, since an incorrectly established diagnosis will reduce all efforts to nothing, and delaying the process will harm your health.

If no bone formation is detected on the image, the patient is sent for magnetic resonance imaging to determine the extent and cause of tendon inflammation.

Everyone knows the expression “Beauty requires sacrifice.” However, remember that narrow shoes with hard backs are serious provocateurs for the formation of calluses and growths. Is your health worth sacrificing?

How to treat?

Having established the nature of the formation, the doctor prescribes appropriate treatment measures.

Treatment of soft tissue inflammation

If inflammation of the tendons and soft tissues of the heel appears in the form of a lump, the following measures will help get rid of it:

if swelling has formed in the affected area, applying a piece of ice will help relieve it;
use of anti-inflammatory ointments;
plasters;
massotherapy;
foot gymnastics.

Such remedies will help remove inflammation, improve blood circulation in the heel and relieve pain;

Levomekol;
Indovazin;
Diclofenac;
Voltaren;
Fastum gel;
Ibuprofen;
Ketorol.

You should not use different ointments, as they have contraindications for complex use.

The ointment must be applied in a thin layer to the damaged area and secured with a bandage on top. Change the bandage twice a day.

Massage of the heel and growth, as well as foot gymnastics, will also be a very effective measure. This will improve blood circulation and promote the resorption of the lump.

Before going outside, be sure to apply a patch (Compeed, Hyperosteogeny) to the damaged area. It has an analgesic effect and protects the formation from damage.

In the early stages of the disease, you can also try to treat with traditional medicine. It is better to use them as auxiliary rather than primary means. Honey, propolis, decoctions of St. John's wort, rose hips, and chamomile have a very good anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. You can make lotions from them and apply them to the sore spot, securing them on top with a bandage or plaster.

It is also necessary to exclude the influence of the causes of growth on the legs.

Folk remedies will help eliminate inflammation and pain

Treatment of bone growth

It is no longer possible to remove a bone growth with the help of ointments and plasters. It is necessary to undergo special therapy.

Today, there are the following methods for treating bone formations on the heel:

Magnetotherapy;
Laser therapy;
X-ray therapy;
Shock wave therapy;
Operation.

It should be noted that the growth itself cannot always be completely removed, especially if the disease is advanced. However, the procedures have a very positive effect on the damaged area due to:

Resorption of salt deposits;
Improving blood circulation;
Improving cell regeneration;
Relieving pain;
Elimination of the inflammatory process;
Softening of the bone tissue of the growth.

The photo shows the laser therapy procedure

Thanks to this effect, a person can easily get along with the growth, and the latter will not interfere with normal life activities or cause discomfort and pain. The growth will also decrease significantly in size.

At an early stage of diagnosis and treatment, the growth can still resolve under the influence of impulses from special devices for the above types of therapy. Laser therapy and shock wave method are especially effective.

However, if the growth cannot be treated using the methods listed above, it continues to cause pain and inconvenience; only surgery will help get rid of the growth.

In some cases, it may be necessary to wear an orthosis.

It is important to know

It is worth noting that even if you managed to get rid of the growth, there is no guarantee that it will not form again. Therefore, it is necessary not only to treat it, but also to further exclude the causes of formation, as well as take preventive measures:

Periodically pamper your feet with steaming baths;
In the evening, massage your heels;
Gymnastics for feet;
If you find that the backs of your shoes are hard and injure your heel, use a patch or refuse such shoes;
Use a moisturizing foot cream.

If the backs are pressed, be sure to use a plaster to prevent damage to the legs

Got an unsightly bump on your heel? Possible causes and treatment of the disease

Our feet are exposed to a huge number of factors throughout our lives. The feet of the fair sex are especially susceptible to various diseases, because women very often wear tight and uncomfortable high-heeled shoes.

The condition of the lower extremities must be constantly monitored, since any pathologies that at first appear only externally can, after some time, cause you a lot of discomfort and pain.

One such problem is a rather unsightly bump on the heel. In this article we will tell you what causes this disease and how to get rid of discomfort if a lump appears and hurts.

What is a bump on the heel?

This pathology is a growth on the heel bone at the back, which leads to a significant increase in the size of the heel. It can have both a hard and soft structure.

Initially, this problem does not bother its owner at all, and it can only be detected by detailed examination and palpation of one’s lower extremities.

After some time, a person notices that his usual shoes, which he had previously been comfortable wearing, become tight.

If this pathology is left unattended, after a few weeks or months an inflammatory process will begin to develop around the growth, leading to swelling, a change in the color of the heel and the appearance of quite severe pain.

In addition, a water bubble may form on the area of the skin that most often comes into contact with shoes.

In most cases, a person consults a doctor not when he notices that he has a lump on his heel, which also hurts, but only in case of discomfort for a long time. In order not to aggravate the situation, you should not ignore any formations on your legs that look like lumps or growths. If such a problem is diagnosed at an early stage, it can be cured very quickly and easily, so consult a doctor immediately as soon as you notice such symptoms.

Why might a lump appear on the back above the heel?

Most often, white bumps appear on the heels due to the following reasons:

wearing tight and uncomfortable shoes for a long time;
excessive body weight;
mechanical damage to the heel, as a result of which the tissue becomes inflamed;
the appearance of a callus or heel spur.

Treatment for heel bumps directly depends on the reasons that provoked this problem, as well as any other similar pathologies.

Before taking any measures to eliminate the growth, it is necessary to undergo x-ray diagnostics, which can determine the presence or absence of a bone element in it.

If no bone was found, magnetic resonance imaging should be used to examine the tendon, bursa and soft tissue.

Only as a result of a detailed and timely diagnosis of a bump on the heel can one manage to prevent rupture of the Achilles tendon - a complication that very often arises with this problem.

How to remove unsightly and painful bumps on the heels of shoes?

A heel bump can be treated either conservatively or surgically. In addition, in some cases, various traditional medicines have been successfully used. As a rule, if the problem was diagnosed on time, doctors limit themselves to conservative treatment; surgical intervention is used only in extreme cases, for example, when cystic changes occur in the tendons. In this case, the bone growth is excised and the inflamed mucous bursa is removed.

Conservative treatment is aimed at reducing the intensity of the inflammatory process in the tendons. In some cases, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be used, which are taken according to a specific regimen. One of the most effective methods for getting rid of painful bumps on the heels can be a compress in the form of a heating pad with ice water.

In addition, the following techniques are used to combat heel growths:

electrophoresis;
ultrasound;
shock wave method;
laser therapy;
physiotherapy;
wearing special orthopedic insoles;
silicone patches.

Traditional medicine to get rid of bumps on heels

Effective remedies that can help in the fight against this pathology can be prepared according to the following recipes:

Boil a few potatoes in their jackets. Grind them with a masher and mix with kerosene. Place your feet in the resulting mass for about 20-30 minutes, until the potatoes have cooled. After finishing the procedure, dry your feet thoroughly with a dry towel and immediately put on warm socks. This method helps very well, however, it can be used a total of no more than 12 times;
Taking one teaspoon of wheat honey and the same amount of oatmeal, make a small cake from these ingredients. First, steam your feet well in hot water and dry thoroughly with a soft towel. After this, apply the prepared cake to the growth, secure it with a bandage on top, then put plastic bags on your feet and cotton socks on top. Repeat this procedure for ten days before going to bed;
Crush 3 aspirin tablets into powder and mix with 25 ml of iodine. Every day, morning and evening, lubricate the cones with the prepared mixture for a month. Along with this treatment method, it is recommended to drink mineral water enriched with silicon;
Break a raw chicken egg and separate the yolk from the white. Mix the yolk with a tablespoon of honey and put this paste in the refrigerator. In the evening, before going to bed, steam your feet well in hot water, dry with a towel and apply the preheated product directly to the growths. After this, put on your socks and go to bed, and in the morning, wash off the medicine with warm water.

How to prevent the occurrence of bumps on the heels?

As you know, any disease is much easier to prevent than to treat. This fully applies to unpleasant bumps on the heels. Treatment of such a problem takes quite a long time, and in some cases it is simply ineffective, so it is better to try to prevent the formation of such growths.

The following preventive measures can help you with this:

Don't buy shoes that are tight and uncomfortable for you. Even if it stretches after a while, by that time your leg may already be significantly deformed;
Give preference to shoe models with soft backs;
Avoid wearing heels that are too high. Of course, you can sometimes afford to wear beautiful shoes for a holiday or meeting, but in everyday life, wear shoes with heels no higher than 6 centimeters;
If possible, remove your shoes for periods of time during the day;
Lead the most active lifestyle possible, play sports, do basic morning exercises;
Try to maintain body weight within normal limits, do not overeat;
Use a special foot cream that relieves fatigue and inflammation.

You should not take the condition of your lower extremities lightly, because it is our legs that constantly withstand the maximum load throughout the day.

Take care of your feet, lubricate them with a special cream, take relaxing baths, and if there are any changes in the appearance of your feet, immediately consult a doctor in order to diagnose the pathology in time and begin treatment.

Bump on the heel

Human feet are exposed to heavy loads every day. Uncomfortable narrow shoes, standing on your feet for a long time, excess weight, injuries - all this leads to the appearance of various pathologies. One of the most common is a bump on the heel. Many people do not consider it a serious disease, so they do not consult a doctor. Indeed, in the initial stages, such a pathology can only lead to slight discomfort. But if you don't pay attention to your feet, the bump will grow. In advanced cases, this pathology causes severe pain and can lead to the inability to move normally.

Education mechanism

The heel is most exposed to stress when walking. Especially if a person wears uncomfortable narrow shoes or high heels. The hard back of the shoe rubs the skin. This initially leads to damage to the outer layer of the epidermis and the formation of blisters. If such exposure does not stop, the skin gradually becomes rougher and changes color. This is how a bump appears on the back of the heel, consisting of altered epidermal cells. Such growths usually cause discomfort only when injured by shoes.

In another case, the lump represents an overgrowth of bone tissue. This occurs most often near the Achilles tendon or on the sole where the plantar fascia attaches. With a prolonged inflammatory process as a result of injury to the ligaments, the deposition of calcium salts begins. In this case, the growth is a pathologically changed bone tissue.

Varieties

A heel bump is a growth or bulge that can be hard to the touch or soft. It depends on what tissues take part in the growth of the formation. Such a tubercle can form on the side, on the sole or back, and also slightly above the heel. The formation grows gradually and over time begins to cause severe pain to the person when walking.

Such lumps may represent bone growth or appear as a result of soft tissue injury. A growth on the bone, consisting of overgrown cartilage tissue that ossifies over time, is formed in several pathologies. Most often in medicine they talk about osteochondral exostosis. It can appear at any age.

The growth of cartilage tissue with the subsequent deposition of calcium salts on it often occurs during rapid skeletal growth in a child. It is believed that the pathology is of hereditary origin, but its development is provoked by external factors. This may include wearing uncomfortable shoes, increased stress on the foot, or injury. Often such a heel formation appears in adulthood due to various pathologies of the musculoskeletal system or metabolic disorders, which result in the deposition of calcium salts.

In some pathologies, an osteophyte begins to grow on the back surface of the heel bone

If a bone growth forms on the bottom of the foot, then it is popularly called a “heel spur.” It can be of different shapes, but in any case it leads to pain when walking, as it causes irritation of soft tissues. Often such a formation grows on the back of the foot at the site of attachment of the Achilles tendon. This pathology is called Haglund's deformity. It is formed due to inflammation of the tendon as a result of increased stress. If a lump appears on the side of the heel, then most likely this is the result of improper fusion of bones after injury. In this case, a growth can form anywhere in the heel bone, but most of all the discomfort is caused by deformation on the inside.

In addition to bone growths, lumps can be altered epithelial cells. In this case, they are softer and move when touched. Such bumps most often form on the back side, since there the skin is most subject to friction from shoes. In addition, soft growths may represent warts that are infectious in nature.

Reasons for appearance

The main reason why a lump appears on the heel is the incorrect distribution of loads on the foot. Many people stand or walk a lot during the day for long periods of time. And most often in shoes with high heels or completely flat soles. The structure of the human foot is such that when walking all its parts must be involved, then it correctly performs its functions. If the shoes are uncomfortable - tight or with high heels, the foot cannot spring. In this case, a large load falls on the heel.

A common cause of Haslund's deformity is prolonged wearing of high heels.

Most often, various growths on the feet appear in people who spend a long time on their feet. Therefore, athletes, ballerinas, salespeople, couriers, and hairdressers suffer from such deformities. The heels are also subject to increased stress when carrying heavy loads frequently or when carrying excess weight.

In addition, other reasons can cause the lump to appear. Most often, these are various chronic pathologies of the musculoskeletal system:

arthrosis or arthritis of the joints;
osteochondrosis;
rachiocampsis.

But the appearance of a growth can also be caused by internal reasons. Deposition of salts in places exposed to increased stress most often occurs in people with metabolic disorders, pathologies of the blood supply to the lower extremities, and endocrine diseases.

Symptoms

At first, the bumps on the heels may not bother the patient at all. Therefore, rarely does anyone start treatment at the initial stage of the pathology. While the bump is small, it is not irritated by shoes and does not hurt. But if exposure to the factors that caused the growth continues, it will grow.

Most patients eventually consult a doctor, as the lump begins to interfere with walking and causes severe pain. Without treatment, this condition can cause serious complications. Therefore, it is important to consult a doctor in time.

In addition to external signs, which are a tubercle on the heel bone, the pathology may be accompanied by other symptoms:

inflammatory process, expressed in redness of the skin, swelling and pain;
change in heel color, keratinization of the skin;
the appearance of calluses or corns;
severe pain when walking or pressing.

Bumps on the heels of any etiology cause pain and discomfort when walking

Features of treatment

Often, when a growth appears on the heel, a person does not know which doctor to contact. You can start with a surgeon or orthopedist who will give you a referral for an x-ray. Such an examination will help to identify the nature of the formation. If the growth is an exostosis, Haglund's deformity, heel spur, or the result of trauma, it will be visible on the x-ray.

But it happens that a lump on the leg grows and causes discomfort, and the x-ray did not reveal the growth of bone tissue, then an MRI is performed. Tomography will help identify the presence of an inflammatory process in soft tissues. Swelling due to tendon strain can be treated by an orthopedist, and to remove calluses and warts you will need to see a dermatologist. Only a doctor, after determining the reasons for the formation of the growth, can tell you how to treat this pathology.

In most cases, it turns out that the lump was formed due to wearing uncomfortable shoes. In this case, it will not be possible to get rid of it until this cause is eliminated. Therefore, to begin with, the patient is recommended to reduce the load on his legs. Sometimes complete rest is necessary, but usually the use of orthopedic insoles or special orthoses is sufficient. If you do not have flat feet or arthrosis, it is recommended to temporarily wear shoes without backs so that there are no hard surfaces near the bump when walking. You should also give up high heels and try to spend less time on your feet.

You need to wear comfortable soft shoes so that the heel is not compressed when walking

You can apply ice or a cold water bottle to the lump to relieve pain, inflammation, and swelling. The remaining treatment methods are prescribed by the attending physician, taking into account the patient’s age, state of health and the nature of the pathology. Typically, bumps, which are bone growths, are treated in the following ways:

analgesic and anti-inflammatory ointments;
massage;
physiotherapeutic procedures;
physical therapy;
using surgery, but this method is used only when nothing else helps.

Special treatment is necessary if the lump consists of altered epidermal cells and is formed from old calluses. In this case, you need to regularly take steaming baths and apply moisturizing creams. If the growth is a wart, it can only be cured with special means.

Drug treatment

All medications used to relieve pain and inflammation in the heel must be prescribed by a doctor. After all, they may have contraindications. In addition, they have different effects, so you need to choose an ointment depending on the cause of the growth.

If a lump above the heel is accompanied by inflammation of the tendon, swelling and pain, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are effective. You can use ointments "Ketorol", "Diclofenac", "Ibuprofen", "Indomethacin", "Voltaren", "Ketoprofen" and others. The medicine is applied to the damaged area in a thin layer and covered with a bandage. You need to apply the ointment 2 times a day.

If the lump is accompanied by damage and infection of the skin, antibacterial ointments are needed: Levomekol, Erythromycin and others. For the treatment of plantar warts, Ferezol, Verrukatsid, Viferon, Panavir, and Malavit are used.

One of the most effective methods of lump removal is shock wave therapy.

Physiotherapeutic procedures

Physiotherapy techniques can significantly improve the patient's condition. At the initial stage, they can completely eliminate the lump above the back of the heel, but in advanced cases, complex treatment is required. Various physiotherapeutic procedures are effective due to the fact that they improve blood circulation in the affected area, normalize the processes of cell metabolism and regeneration, and relieve pain and inflammation.

Some of them promote the resorption of salt deposits and the reduction of bone growth. Laser radiation and shock wave therapy are especially effective in this regard. But electrophoresis, magnetotherapy, X-rays, and ultrasound are also successfully used.

Traditional methods

Many people try to treat the bump with various home methods. They will not be able to completely remove the growth, but traditional methods can be used as an auxiliary therapy that speeds up recovery and alleviates the patient’s condition. Typically, such recipes involve the use of various compresses and lotions.

For their preparation use:

boiled potatoes in their skins mixed with kerosene;
cake made from honey and oatmeal;
6 Aspirin tablets dissolved in a bottle of iodine;
chicken yolk beaten with honey.

Prevention

If you don't pay attention to these bumps, they will gradually grow. In some cases, such benign formations transform into malignant tumors. Therefore, it is necessary to treat any growths in a timely manner and do everything to prevent their further occurrence.

Prevention measures include:

gymnastics for legs;
foot massage;
relaxing baths;
using moisturizing foot creams;
wearing comfortable shoes, preferably with orthopedic insoles, with heels no higher than 4-5 cm.

Bumps on the heel are a rather unpleasant pathology that can affect anyone. But with careful attention to your feet and timely treatment, you can easily get rid of it.

Throughout his life, a person constantly loads his legs and injures them. High heels, tight shoes, and improper lifting are the main causes of impaired blood flow in the lower extremities, which leads to calluses, joint disorders and other diseases.

Usually, people do not pay special attention to the health of their feet, which makes them subsequently surprised by the pain when the lump has already appeared and hurts.

Such a neoplasm may not manifest itself for a long time, but at a certain moment significant discomfort appears.

You need to know what to do when a bump appears on the heel, and how to quickly get rid of the unpleasant phenomenon.

Symptoms of a bump on the heel

There are often cases when no growth has arisen, but an inflammatory process has begun in the mucous bursa. This phenomenon is called retrocalcaneal bursitis, and it requires a completely different treatment than a bunion on the heel.

The heel bone at the back becomes covered with a growth, this leads to an enlargement of the heel. In addition, the lump has the following symptoms:

Inflammatory process around the growth, swelling at the back of the heel,

A water bubble appears on the skin, which constantly rubs against the shoes and hurts; in rare cases, the color of the heel changes,

The growth has either a hard or soft structure.

Reasons for the formation of a lump

A lump on the heel can occur due to the following reasons:

when walking for a long time in uncomfortable tight shoes,
in case of heel trauma and tissue inflammation,
if you are overweight, which creates a large and constant load on the feet,
due to the appearance of large calluses,
due to diseases such as arthrosis of the joints, flat feet and some other disorders.

The indicated reasons for the appearance of a lump on the heel indicate that it is necessary to consult a doctor for an initial examination and find out the current situation.

Diagnostic measures

The scientific name for a heel bump is Haglund's deformity. The analysis consists of identifying the presence of a bone component in the growth. For this purpose, radiography is performed.

If after examination no bone was found in the formation, then you should carefully examine:

tendons,
soft tissues,
mucous bursa.

For these purposes, the doctor must refer the patient for magnetic resonance imaging.

If the lump is diagnosed in a timely manner, it is possible to prevent rupture of the Achilles tendon, which can occur due to prolonged stress on the ligament.

Basic treatment methods for heel bumps

Heel bumps are treated using:

Electrophoresis,
Ultrasound,
Laser therapy,
Shock wave method,
Traditional medicine,
Blockades with pain-relieving medications. The essence of the treatment is to inject a special solution into the cone. This type of treatment is quite dangerous, since it can lead to necrosis of the heel bone if the dosage is incorrectly calculated and the injection is performed incorrectly,
Surgical intervention
Orthopedic insoles that distribute the load across the foot and reduce heel pain while walking.

Which method is best suited in each case is decided only by the attending physician.

The essence of conservative therapy is to remove the inflammatory process in the mucous membrane. If the swelling is successfully removed, the tendons no longer suffer from pressure.

There is an effective way to treat Haglund's growth - ice compresses. Doctors advise applying a heating pad with ice water to the tumor.

The doctor prescribes as an additional treatment, which should be taken in strict accordance with the regimen and established dosages.

In addition, you need to perform therapeutic exercises that have a positive effect on the ankle and heel tendon. You should also wear only comfortable shoes with a soft back and low heels.

In order to reduce the pressure while wearing shoes and relieve excruciating pain in the heel, you can attach silicone patches, which are purchased at the pharmacy, to the growth itself.

Treating heel bumps with surgery

If the growth is large and conservative treatment methods are ineffective, the doctor decides on surgery. Intervention is also necessary in cases where a cystic change is detected and confirmed in the tendons.

During surgery, the bone growth is excised and the inflamed mucous bursa is removed. Sometimes the surgeon will excise a cyst that has appeared inside the heel tendon.

To prevent unpleasant and painful growths on the heels, you must follow the following medical advice:

Do not wear tight and uncomfortable shoes,
Do not wear shoes with too high heels. Doctors recommend using only shoes with heels no more than 6 centimeters. This height optimally distributes weight across the foot,
If you need to walk in heels for a long time, it is important to take comfortable replacement shoes with you. While sitting at your desk, you can give your feet a short rest by removing uncomfortable shoes. You can do small exercises for your toes and feet,
To live an active lifestyle,
Eat right to maintain a normal weight,
Use foot care products
Take care of your feet with special creams that relieve fatigue.

Folk remedies for treating bumps on the heel

A lump on the heel can be treated with one of the traditional medicines only after discussion with a doctor. There are effective recipes for treating tumors on the heels:
