What Are The Treatments For Painful Lumps On Feet And Difficulty In Walking?

I have lumps/bumps on the outside of both of my feet. The right side is much worse and very painful. These started last spring, but during the summer months pretty much cleared up. Since before Thanksgiving, these have become very painful, especially the right foot. I do have an appointment with a specialist the end of January. It is becoming increasingly difficult for me to walk each day. I am 65 years old, and I do have Lupus.

Hi,

Actually joint pain and swelling is one of the most common symptoms of SLE and you know that its treatment is symptomatic like anti-inflammatory medications for joint pain and stiffness , steroid creams for rashes, corticosteroids to minimize the immune response, antimalarial drugs for skin, disease modifying drugs or targeted immune system agents for more severe cases.

For your case I recommend topical NSAIDS or in tab form like Advil and Acetaminophen till your appointment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ahmed Aly Hassan
