[|Human|] My husband has been doctoring with a pen orthopedic physician who is putting him in a walking boot and custom orthotics for plantar fasciitis, however, he has about a 1 inch lump protruding from the bottom of the of his inner foot right where the heal and arch would meet. He has extremely flat feet from working on concrete floors for almost 30 years. Hes had an MRI and X-rays but theres no real answer for what that protrusion could be.....any ideas??
[|AI|]  Hello, Since your husband is a known case of planter fasciitis the lump of 1 inch in size at a point where to heal meets the arch can be due to fasciitis itself as MRI could not show this separately. Must be a fibrosis part of fasciitis. The best treatment for such a case is as follows, and I am sure may help your husband. Prepare a water solution super saturated witChatDoctormon salt as much as would allow immersion of above ankle area in the tub. Make this warm and test with flat of palm for temperature. This hot fomentation twice a day will him a lot. Surely the orthopedic boots and such things to help maintain the normalcy, but you have to check whether this is a proper fit or not. A course of an anti-inflammatory medications and steroids to help a lot in some cases.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
