Achilles Tendon HELP

I woke up this morning and I noticed a good size lump on the back of my ankle kinda to the left. Its hard and its poking out I’m not sure what it is exactly if it doesnt reduce its size and stop bugging me by tomorrow I’ll probably see my doctor but I think it could be something to do achilles tendon but im not sure. I normally notice changes in my body so im about 80 percent sure they just happened. Has anyone had this please let me know

if its your left ankle its possible its a really bad sprain, keep it elevated and ice on and off for twenty minute intervals. if its on your right ankle to your left you could have torn your achilles tendon. sprains do not usually immediately swell up, so its possible its that. it doesnt soundl like anything is broken or fractured but you should go to the doctor about a possible dislocation if you havent already. if it has anything to do with your ACL its probably very painful when you walk/run. safe to say I’ve had my fair share of ankle injuries. if it hurts up the back of your leg as well its probably ACL or sprained. but I doubt its any of that, probably achilles tendon. stay off it and ice if it doesnt go down within a day or two go see a doctor. since its been 9 days youve probably seen a doctor already and know everything, if not and its still swollen go now.
