A lump or focal enlargement of the Achilles tendon usually represents a condition referred to as tendinosis. This essentially represents the reparative process of a diseased or chronically inflamed tendon. If acutely inflamed (swollen and tender) there is an increased risk of rupture and it should be immobilized in a walking boot if possible. Although the lump may decrease in size with treatment, it rarely resolves completely but will function just fine.
