Have Painful Swollen Foot With A Lump. Why Cannot I Sleep?
I have a painful swollen foot with a lump on the outside of my left foot on the top of my foot it feels so tight and painful I can bearly walk on it I put ice but it has done nothing and after trying to walk on it the pain has gotten worse and now I can hardly sleep its been like this for over a day now how can I stop the pain and lower the swelling?
As per your history it looks swelling of soft tissue which can be lipoma or sebaceous cyst. I will advise to consult surgeon for clinical examination and if required proper investigation. I will advise you to do MRI and Ultrasound of the swelling. Benign swelling giving rise to pain can be excised.
