What Causes Foot Pain After Running?
My son is a college baseball player (19 years old). Started experiencing foot pain after a game a few weeks ago and recently noticed a protrusion or boney bump on the outer side of his right foot. He is having difficulty and pain while playing. Trainer has been icing it and wrapping it before games. Could this possibly be any type of fracture?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Cannot say about particular situations in particular patients without examining them BUT one of the key points is if the bump is hard (like a protruding boney structure) or soft like an inflamed joint. X rays would easily determine what is occurring.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
