Achilles Tendonitis

[wietgr]

Hi my name is Greg I am 25 years old, this is my first post and im looking for some help. I am a mechanic and work on my feet eight hours a day M-F. About four years ago I had early symptoms of plantar fasciitis I received custom orthodics from a podiatrist and they were worth every penny, foot pain gone. Until about a two months ago when I started feeling that pain first thing when getting out of bed in the morning. Only this time I have a large lump on the inside of my right foot about 4-5 oclock from the bottom of my tibia. its not colored like a bruise and the pain and swelling goes away once i get started moving at work, ive tried countless pairs of shoes from $20-$120 they all aggravate it. I have yet to go to a Podiatrist because I am currently in school and cannot afford health insurance. I belive this may be Achilles Tendonitis but the location of the pain and "lump" are inconsistent with the symptoms. Looking for some much needed help.

Thanks in advance
-Greg
