Fracture care: Lump and pain pretty normal. When do you start therapy? Keep you follow up appointments and call your provider if things worsen. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Fractured bone: After wearing a cast for a fracture, there is a lump of bone called a bone callus that can sometimes be felt overlying the fracture. Your Orthopedist or Podiatrist should discuss with you post fracture Physiotherapy to help reduce the pain and swelling.
