ds is 10, told me yesterday he has a lump on his foot. This morning lump was noticeably larger and second smaller lump appearing. He couldn't put foot to floor properly, was walking on his toes.
Saw the gp, he said it is probably an inflamed tendon, has suggested rest and Ibuprofen and then return to see him if not improved.
The swelling is on the bottom edge of his heel, at the side. ds has said it has bee a bit sore on and off since Christmas (he tells me now!)
gp couldn't suggest what had caused it.
ds is very tall for age with big feet, he is very active - plays football in playground all the time, but doesn't do any sports clubs except school football.
How can he have injured his tendon??

My DH did his by stepping off a kerb!
Could possibly have something to do with the shoes that he is wearing too. DH had been wearing the flat Converse style fashion trainer type things which don't give an awful lot of support to the feet.
Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable might come along soon
