A member asked:

I have a pea size hard knot on the top side of my right foot. if i touch it or hit it, it is very painful, otherwise it doesn't hurt. about 3 weeks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ganglion cyst: This is a benign cyst that may cause pain by pressing against structures like nerves. If is is really bothersome, some physicians may recommend aspirating it but excision is really the best long term fix.
