It is unlikely that this bump/pain is because of your shoe that you wore during school.
It is near the Achilles tendon.
Such kind of pain is more common in people who themselves have Asthma/Diabetes/Thyroid disorders or whose family members have Asthma/Diabetes/Thyroid disorders.
Do you or anyone in your family have these?
Next Steps
As of now, apply a crepe bandage over the ankle to give it rest. Don't apply it too tightly. Keep it comfortable...but wear it 24 hours a day (even at night).
Remove it while having a bath and also remove it 5-6 times everyday to apply ice over the painful part. Don't apply any hot water bag/balm/gel/oil/turmeric over it.
Also, take:
*Tab Flexon (1 tablet after lunch and 1 tablet after dinner for 7 days) (if you are not allergic to it)
*Tab Pantakind (40mg) (1 tablet before breakfast in the morning for 7 days)
If the pain does not reduce after 7days, get the following tests done:
Serum Uric Acid
Serum RA factor
Serum HLA B-27
Do let me know if you have pain relief after 1 week.
