No self-treatment: Unfortunately, there is little he can do to treat a boney deformity. Wearing shoes that don't irritate the area will help with comfort and an arch support may reduce the stress that's causing the jamming of the joint. If those don't help, see a podiatrist to be evaluate for either a custom orthotic or surgical removal.
