(PUMP BUMP)
Haglund's deformity is a painful swelling or lump on the back of the heel bone. It is more common in women than men, and is associated with the prolonged wearing of high heeled shoes. The symptoms associated with this disorder include heel swelling, redness, sore and intense pain.
Treatment
If you suffer from this condition, it is best to stop wearing high-heeled shoes. Instead, choose to wear comfortable and flat-based shoes that relieve your heels from pressure and strain. Use natural home-based remedies like warm herbal foot-soaks, massaging with essential oils possessing anti-inflammatory properties and foot exercises.
