Large, Hard Bump On Top Of Bruised Right Foot, Swelling In Lower Legs. On Celebrex For Knee. Side Effects?
I have recently discovered that I have a large hard bump on the top of my right foot that is also bruised (the bruising has increased through out the day). I have not recently injured the area (at least that I am aware of), so I have no idea why it is like this. I am taking Celebrex for my right knee and also just discovered that both of my lower legs are a little swollen. Could this be a side effect to the Celebrex, even though I have been on it for about 30 days now?

Hi, it appears that you have ganglion, a protrusion of the synovial membrane and the synovial fluid, lipoma, or a boil due to bacterial infection.
So i advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. If it is ganglion it is to be excised. if lipoma and not creating problem it can be left, or else it is to be excised. Thank you.
