A few years ago it came on, a bump on my left top foot like on a vein or nerve, not super noticeable to the eye unless you look and compare, but I feel the bump too, its painful throbbing and way worse after walking and especially with tight constricting shoes.
Any kind of guidance or opinion someone could offer would be amazing. The bump is painful to the touch and, overall, I'd say I'm in more pain since the boot has been on. My doctor thinks there's an avulsion fracture but I'm not sure why that wouldn't be definitive via scans I had done.
I'm in a CAM boot to essentially see what happens. X-rays, an MRI, and CT later my doctor and the radiologist who read my scans still can't agree on a diagnosis. The doctor noticed a hard lump right over the painful area but couldn't determine what is was. I assumed it was a stress fracture and waited 4 weeks from the injury date to see an orthopedic surgeon, knowing that it would take some time to see on a radiograph. However, I was still experiencing severe pain if I moved my foot invertedly (as if you were going to grab your foot to pull off a shoe). Running caused pain and a numbing sensation of the 4th and 5th metatarsals but most other activities I could perform just fine.
Painful lump under skin free#
I RICEd as best I could and within a week I could walk pain free but the top of my foot still hurt.
I rolled my right foot in early November and was left with extreme pain and general swelling particularly noticeable over the inside of my ankle and the top of my foot - more laterally centered. Anyone any ideas please?īony lump over joining of 4th and 5th metatarsal unexplained Sitting at home very frustrated as to lack of progress. Currently very high, nothing will touch the pain, as I can only wear trainer due to other foot problems,have relaced several times to miss lump. Referred to NHS Foot surgeon who is currently off with heart attach himself! Fracture Clinic sent me questionnaire on my pain levels. It came after I turned over in bed and caught my big toe in the mattress, in short I turned but my big toe did not.Īfter a week of icing etc and days when I could not walk and so much pain I was crying, I went to GP who sent me straight to A & E as she thought I had a fracture mid foot! A & E xrayed, thought I had a flake fracture,tendon torn from bone, sent me home on crutches as I already wear orthotics, and refereed me to NHS Fracture Clinic, who called next day and stated no flake fracture and did not think tendon torn. I have a bump on top of my foot like people noting here. In general, if there is pain, especially pain that does not seem to resolve, then medical attention should be obtained.Īdditionally, if you have a bone protrusion on top of the foot that appears to be movable, then that should be seen by a doctor as well, to rule out more serious problems other then a ganglion cyst or calcified bursal sac. So, is a bone on top of the foot anything to worry about? That is a tough question to answer simply because there are so many variation of what might be causing a protrusion on top of the foot. Bone will not move, but soft tissue growths will move back and forth. The first thing you can do is see if the "bump" moves. Structures like a ganglion cyst, a calcified bursal sac may feel like bone, but in actuality are not. In some instances that can be helpful, in other situations there just happens to be a normal difference in appearance between the two feet.Ī bone on the top of the foot many times may not be a bone at all.
Sometimes the area will become painful, in other instances people will notice some sort of protrusion, that they never noticed before.Ĭomparing the protrusion, to the same area on the other foot, may reveal that the first foot has a bump whereas the other foot does not.

In these situations the bone itself or the structures between the skin and bone, (eg: tendons, blood vessels and nerves) may become irritated. Even worse, it is easy for shoe pressure to aggravate these protrusions. Keep in mind that the skin on the top of the foot is very thin with little to no fat underneath the skin.įor this reason it is easy to palpate or feel bony protrusions.
