Can A Cyst Cause Pain And Swelling On The Foot?
I have what feels like a bubble on my left foot. The bubble feels towards the bottom outside of the foot, but the pain radiates to the top of the foot as well. The area associated is mildly swollen with some redness. I am seeing my Podiatrist tomorrow but the pain is unbearable and has woken me from a deep sleep. Is it possible that it is a cyst? Thank you for your attention to this matter. Holly E. Lacoste

Hello,
Consult an orthopaedician and get an MRI scan done to rule out conditions like bursitis or ganglion which causes cyst like swelling.
As of now you can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Tramadol for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
