What Is The Cause For Painful Lump Under The Foot?
Hi, nearly a yr ago I had a piece of what I thought was glass stuck in my foot, I had an X-ray a few wks later as I was in a lot of pain but they told me it was just the trauma of it going in and coming out! Nearly a yr on I still have a lump under my foot, still get pain and am now getting shooting pains round my foot and leg! Do you think it s possible there could be something there that the X-ray couldn t pick up?

hi dear thanks for query on HCM
sometimes it is possible that foreign body like glass stays in and couldnot be assessed by x-ray,
you may need exploration of the site under anaesthesia.
you need to consult a surgeon and give consent for the exploration.
thank you
