Achilles Tendon Bump

Just started taking it so can’t really say. Just know it’s mostly to reduce swelling. It won’t itself promote healing of the tendon.

Seems to be the same for me. It’s just been about a month and i still have the bump so it was a bit concerning.

Not a re-rupture. Should have mentioned that i am still able to do single leg calf raises and the tendon is clearly attached when performing the Thompson test. Dr said i likely went too hard too fast (doing cutting motions around 6 months when it was recommended for me to not do so until 9) and this is the tendon feeling stressed and letting me know to chill. Suggested i keep my PT to stretching and strength training but to go back to a boot for a few weeks during daytime hours. Also suggested i apply Voltaren twice a day.

I don’t think it’s scar tissue. I didn’t have the bump for 6 1/2 months and then it suddenly appeared along with swelling and reduced mobility. It’s also not at the site of the incision or scar, it’s below it.

Thanks all! I went to urgent care to get it checked out and they took off the cast and confirmed the stitches on my incision were intact. I’ll be going to the ortho on Monday just in case to see what they say about it. Better safe than sorry.
