Bump On Outside Of Left Foot, Swelling. Had Bunion Surgery. Treatment?

I have noticed a bump on the outside of my left foot, about one inch below the ankle bone and one inch forward. It swells when I'm on my feet too long and I noticed today it has developed a pea-sized, hard bump as well. The pain, I would describe as a stinging ache. I've had bunion surgery before and it doesn't seem anything like that.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hi and welcome to HCM
Well, without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of the lump. Possibilities that may need to be considered include bony outgrowth, 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 informative and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care.
