Lump on Achilles tendon

I've posted this thread here as this is a sports related injury.

I have a small pea sized lump at the base of my Achilles tendon.

I've been Googling and believe this to be a stress injury from training. I've had it for about 2 months. When I was exercising it was very painful.

I have stopped jogging and take a Body Combat class 3 times per week - keeping my movements low impact with no jumping. I also cycle to work on odd occasions.

Has anyone else experienced this? Should I be going to the doctors? Will it go?

Hoping someone can offer some advice.

I would take it to the GP, or physio if you have a tame one already.
