Question: I had surgery in March 2016--Exostectomy or removal of bossing bone mid foot. Right foot nerve entrapment release/decompression. Prior to surgery I had a large, painful lump on the top of my Right foot--to the point that I needed to buy really large shoes to accommodate it. I had nerve pain wrapping around to my right ankle as well. The lump on my foot did not resolve despite the March surgery that removed bone. The lump was actually larger following surgery, and the nerve pain was worse. A subsequent MRI 13 wks. post op showed a soft tissue mass--"recurrent soft tissue mass and exostosis medial foot." On July 9, 2016, I had "revision of exostosectomy medial mass and exostosis medial foot." The hard lump was found to be fibrous scar tissue. It is now 7 weeks post op, and the hard lump on the top of my foot is even larger! I have nerve pain, and a constant burning sensation in the area of bone removal on the top of my foot. My question is, could I be reacting to the bone wax that was used during both procedures? I am very sensitive to contact lens and makeup products, and have had an anaphylactic reaction to a flu vaccine (preserative free version). Two of my children have anaphylactic reactions to bees. I don't know that there is a connection, but I'm feeling desperate to have this taken care of! Thank you, XXXXXXX

What should be my next step then to determine which it is? Can I be allergy tested re: bone wax?

Thank you, XXXXXXX
