Do you have a retrocalcaneal bursitis or Haglund’s deformity? You may have also heard it referred to as a “Pump Bump“. These generally attack women in high heels but can also strike men as well. Especially men who have a rear foot varus foot type. How do you know if you have a retrocalcaneal bursitis? Simple, is there a bump at the back of your heel or leg where your Achilles insets? Does this bump become red and inflamed making it painful to wear shoes? Do your sneakers and shoes constantly tend to wear in the posterior heel portion before anywhere else? These are all signs of Retrocalcaneal bursitis or a Haglund’s deformity, which are the same condition that go by different names. What do you do? What are the best treatments for Retrocalcaneal bursitis?
The best treatments are as follows;
The best and is easiest treatment is a simple heel lift. The Heel lift
Another treatment option is to no longer have a heel. That is right. Crocs are the perfect shoes for retrocalcaneal bursitis. Due to the fact that Crocs do not have a heel to their shoe, they do not irritate the bursitis and pain never results. There are many pairs of Crocs
Needless, to say another treatment is to take an anti inflammatory or an oral steroid to decrease the inflammation in the bursitis and reduce the pain. What you do not want is a cortisone shot into the bursa that can results in an Achilles Tendon rupture, which is a much more severe problem. The steroid will degrade the tendon causing it to rupture.
Physical Therapy stretching can help with the pain as well as an Ultrasound 
The last resort treatment is surgery and that can be successful. It entails detaching the Achilles Tendon and removing the spur inflaming the bursa. Following the surgery you will be off your foot for six weeks. I hope this gave a good summation of treatments for Haglunds Deformity or Retro calcaneal bursitis.
