Went back to see a othopadist surgeon who said the it was a growth plate. After 3 months went back to see a podiatrist who said to wear a luneboot.. after 2 months the lump is still there and a second xray still shows a small fracture in the 5th metatarsal. I m a bit lost to what to do because of the lump.Any advise? thank you
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for query to My Chat Doctor virtual Clinic And welcome to Chat Doctor services. I studied all details of your query. I understood your health concerns about constant lump on sons feet. Based on facts of your query, it seems that-your son hasa-5 the metatarsal Styloid with sore foot.b-As advised by Podiatrist-who is special foot orthopedic Surgeon doctor, there appears to be Plantar Arch stress leading to 5th metatarsal/diaphysis stress, causing soreness, due to agile active age of your son.c-I would go by Podiatrist advise using Gunboat mostly for your PES caves with plantar flexed 5th metatarsal.d-I would suggest neglecting that lump, if the sore foot issue of your son is settled by treatments for last 6 myths time. As the only issue with you seems to be Lump of the foot, as you did not mention any pain with it now, forget the confusion in diagnosis amongst various orthopedic doctors. And go by gunboat advise from Podiatrist. Keep updated after 3-4 weeks, by that time things would settle. Second opinion from another Podiatrist should resolve your problem. Treatment-Rest-By BK post. Slab to give rest to sore foot x4-6 weeks Motrin x 7-10 days to control the soreness with edema locally. Tab Calcium /It D3 x 1 throne Boot to correct plantar stress.
