Noticed A Tender Lump On The Top Of The Foot , What Are The Possible Treatments ?

I was walking the other day and felt a shock to the top of my foot just below the second and third toe. Can feel a little lump and very painful. Have been using ice and Advil, but still very tender. What do you think it is.? Do I need an x-ray? Thank you

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for your query.

** Well, without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of the lump. Possibilities that may need to be considered include enlarged bursa, cysts, growths from underlying connective tissue etc.
I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. You may get the X-ray of the area affected and FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) of lump under his/her guidance.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
