Question 3

Question 4

had a proximal row capectomy 12 months ago & fell on that wrist a month ago. severe pain, limited movement, protruding bone, weakness. possible fractu?

Accepted Answer

Wrist pain: Yes you may have fractured you wrist during the fall, or have significant trauma to the soft tissues.  See you surgeon or another orthopedic specialist to diagnosis and help you with this problem.

Question 5

i seem to have a what feels like a lump on top left side of my skull size of r2 coin. its not sore, feels like protruding bone from the fissure?

Accepted Answer

Exam needed: If the lump is boney hard, it may be a benign exostosis which is a boney protrusion in the skull usually nonserious  requiring no treatment. If the lump is soft it may be an ingrown hair, inclusion cyst or lipoma. A physician would have to examine it to make a diagnosis and advise you.

Question 6

cyst like on top my left foot and diagnosed of protruding bone called ganglion exostosis. foot doctor said i need a surgery. is this true?

Accepted Answer

We all need somthing: Sounds like you have an exostosis, which is nothing more than an outgrowth of bone, and a ganglion cyst. If the condition is causing pain, numbness or a problem with the functioning of your foot, then surgery is probably called for. If, however, you have a lump and no symptoms associated with it, then, you have the opportunity of holding off on the surgery for what I call a "wait see".

Question 7

i have a lump protruding from the side of my foot it feels like a bone, about a quarter inch big, does not hurt, what is it and how come?

Accepted Answer

Lumps and bumps:: These are tough to diagnose without seeing them! You don't say which side of the foot the hard lump is on, where on the side, or how long you have had it. This may be a bunion, do a google image search for bunion and see if that looks like what you have.
 See a podiatrist to get an exact diagnosis, and treatment, or  tips for prevention of further damage, if needed.

Question 8

bone sticking out of foot a bit. could it be fractured?

Accepted Answer

Possible: If you had an injury it may be a fracture.  Not all protruding bony prominences are fractures.  The prominence may be as a result of a normal anatomical variant of that bone. It could be a compensatory change of the bone in the area due to soft tissue contractures or a biomechanical abnormality, or it may be due to an underlying bone tumor. Get seen by a professional to determine the cause.

Question 9

there is a bone sticking out of my, lower inner foot. i am an athlete and i am constantly using my foot. please help asap. ?

Accepted Answer

Prominent Bone: See your physician for an assessment and a possible XR. A referral to orthopedics may be indicated. If you are having pain rest your foot until you have a diagnosis. All the best.

Question 10

i have a bone sticking out of the bottom of your foot, what is this?

Accepted Answer

My foot is okay.: I think you meant your foot . If true this is usually seen  with a charcot foot. Do you have a hole in your foot? With bone protruding? Or do you mean you feel a bony prominence?
