Could this be achilles tendon injury...?


my 12 year old son is a soccer player, he is on the field either practice or games everyday, when we came home from his game today he complained of his ankle hurting more so than usual, he has complained of it before but never made a big deal, so i check it out and on the back of his ankle (achilles area) he has a medium sized lump and slight bruising on the outside of his ankle, i called the doc, she sent him for an x ray to make sure of no fractures, that came back good, no fracture, but being that it's saturday that is as far as we got! he can walk on it, has some pain when he does, but i am just wondering what the lump could be??

could be a ganglion cyst. read more about it here:
