What Can Be Done For Swelling On Left Foot On The Top With Hard Bumps On The Sides ?

My question, is my left foot on the top is swollen and I have 2 kinda hard bumps on the side of mu foot.. Now this has been going on for a couple of months now.. And this morning while I was sleeping.. I got bit by something on my toe same foot as the 2 bumps.. Also my toe is numb and swollen now.. I did have a type of cyst on the top of my foot that I was diagnosed with about a month or so and my doctor actually took his knuckle and punched me 2 times.. @ first I felt relief but a wk or so.. My foot just started getting very swollen in size and the top of my foot seems like it has a hard bone that hurts when I try and put a shoe on it.. Sooo.. Basically my left foot is off and on swollen and in a lot of pain.. And it feels as if my ankle is very weak and I just would like 2 know if u could please help me.. Because I dont wanna have 2 keep taking pain killers for my pain.. I just would like 2 know that I can walk again like I used to and beable 2 walk normal.. Instead of limping on it.. Do to all the pain and how swollen in size it gets.. Thanks n GOD bless..

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The swelling on the foot with hard lumps on the sides could be due to a soft tissue swelling. An infection is not likely if there is no pain or redness in the area. FNAC will help in proper diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
