Suggest Treatment For A Constant Lump In My Son S Feet

My son is 12 yrs old, he complained about a sore feet 6 months ago- took him to the doctor had an x-ray and cane back as a small fracture in the 5th metatarsal. doctors advise rest. Went back to see a othopadist surgeon who said the it was a growth plate. After 3 months went back to see a podiatrist who said to wear a luneboot.. after 2 months the lump is still there and a second xray still shows a small fracture in the 5th metatarsal. I m a bit lost to what to do because of the lump.Any advise? thank you

Hi, Thanks for query to My HCM virtual Clinic And welcome to HCM services.

I studied all details of your query.

I understood your health concerns about constant lump on son's feet.
Based on facts of your query,it seems that-your son has
a-5 the metatarsal Styloid with sore foot.
b-As advised by Podiatrist- who is special foot orthopedic Surgeon doctor,there appears to be Plantar Arch stress leading to 5th metatarsal/diaphysial stress,causing soreness,due to agile active age of your son.
c-I would go by Podiatrist advise to use Luneboot mostly for your pes cavus with plantar flexed 5th metatarsal.
d-I would suggest to neglect that lump,if the sore foot issue of your son is settled by treatments for last 6 mths time.
As the only issue with you seems to be Lump of the foot,as you did not mention any pain with it now,forget the confusion in diagnosis amongst various orthopedic doctors.
And go by luneboot advise from Podiatrist.
Keep updated after 3-4 weeks,by that time things would settle.
Second opinion from another Podiatrist should resolve your problem.
Treatment-
Rest-By BK post.Slab to give rest to sore foot x4-6 weeks
Tab Motrin x 7-10 days to control the soreness with edema locally.
Tab Calcium /Vit D3 x 1 mth
Lune Boot to correct plantar stress.
Second Opinion from another Podiatrist Doctor.
Hope this reply would help you in resolving this complex query and anxiety with it.

Will appreciate your hitting thanks and writing excellent review comments to help needy visiting patients at HCM like you.

Welcome for any further query in this regards.
Good Day!!
