A extra bone on the top of my foot has been irritating after i did a bit of aerobics. I ve had it all of my life and was fine. I always rub at it as if it isn t suppose to be there. It s on top of the navicular bone. Well anyways it s bruised and my foot feels very warm on the inside. It hurts to place my foot correctly. Thank you.

Hello,
Accessory navicular bone spurs can feel like a hard lump or bump underneath the skin. Activities that can contribute to bone spurs include dancing, running, and exercise. Causes include injury to the foot, obesity or being overweight, wearing tight shoes and osteoarthritis. Clinical examination by an orthopedic surgeon and X-ray can diagnose the accessory navicular bone.
The treatment consists of treatment of underlying risk factors like weight loss, changing shoes or wearing paddings. Place a cold pack or heating pad on your foot for 10 to 15 minutes, several times a day. Cortisone injection for pain relief and to reduce inflammation. Pain medication like NSAIDs Ibuprofen and Naproxen can be taken twice daily for 2 weeks.
Take tab. Pantop to avoid gastric irritation. Special walking boots help in relieving the pain due to spurs. If all the above measures fail and symptoms persist or increase, surgical approach is the treatment of choice.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
