Haglund’s Deformity, also known as “pump bump,” is a bony enlargement at the back of the heel bone. It often occurs due to factors like high arches, tight Achilles tendon, or wearing shoes with rigid backs. Symptoms include an enlarged bump on the heel, heel pain, and blisters. Home remedies may include heel pads, ice application, and shoe modifications. If pain persists or the bump enlarges, it’s essential to see a podiatrist. Diagnosis involves a physical exam and imaging tests like X-rays. Treatment options include shoe modifications, medication, immobilization, and surgery in severe cases.
