How Can Knots Be Treated?
I have a fracture on outside middle of foot. Swelling and bruising are gone, but still a knot and tender to the touch. I am 4 wks into the injury and concerned about the knot and if calcium deposits are building. I keep foot wrapped but not sure if it has been tight enough. What else can I do?

Hi You had a fracture in the middle of foot about 4 weeks ago and are feeling painful knot in the foot.
This is a normal healing process when the bones unite , unless there is some mal position of fractures . There is formation of lump( callus) around around fracture which slowly disappears over few months for it to disappear. So dont worry about it now , just reassess after a month or so.
