You definitively : Should see a foot and ankle doc you need xrays and clinical exam. You need to rule out presence degree of sprain and rule out any fractures.

Question 8

so i have an overuse injury from a month ago, and there is a bump on top of my ankle to the top of my foot, and a round lump on the right side of the foot that is squishy and round, im concerned, and when i run it hurts, and a little bump on the top?

Accepted Answer

: Your description of your injuries are vague  more specific information is needed. See a sports medicine podiatrist for diagnosis and treatment

Question 9

my foot hurts every time i run, its been like this for a month, got an x-ray, they saw nothing, but now i see a squishy lump on the outside of foot and a bump on top of foot and hurts a little when i flex my foot up and when i press on it, it hurts?

Accepted Answer

: It is possible you are experiencing a stress fracture of metatarsal bone. A slight break in the bone might not present itself until 4 weeks after the injury will you see bone healing. As for the outside of the foot enough information has not been provided  a surgical shoe would be appropriate without running. See a podiatrist for care and follow up to prevent injury.

Question 10

i have foot pain when i step on it. i did not hurt it though. what should i do? i started having pain on the 18th of march 2012.i am not able to run or balance on that foot.also it is my right foot.

Accepted Answer

It's : It's hard to give you a meaningful answer without knowing what part of your foot hurts, how the pain feels, and whether there is any redness or swelling.

But whatever is up, it's not normal, so the best advice i can give you is to see a podiatrist, get an x-ray and a good examination, and i'm sure you'll be back on your feet again soon.

Good luck!
