Re: Nodule on foot?

[Guest guest]

Hi Judy:

It sounds like a nodule, and I have one on the outside of my right foot, at the

arch.  If so, it is very painful indeed.  I went to a foot dr., he x-rayed my

foot, and that's what it was.  He ordered two sets of inserts for my shoes, plus

gave me a list of 5 brands of sneakers that would be better for my feet, and 

for  comfort and stability.    Plus, he told me to remove the shoes inserts, and

put a pair of the new ones in its place.  He also had me order 1 size larger

that I normally wear, and instead of walking or cross trainers, he told me to

buy running shoes.  This has made a big diff. to my feet for the better.  Both

pairs of inserts are wonderful,  but when my feet are so bad, and that nodule

is  killing me, I use the softer inserts.  I hope this info. helps you..  I was

so glad my Rheumy sent me to this dr.  I sure hope your feet feel better

soon.   

I care.

[ ] Nodule on foot?

I think I may have my first nodule. I have a Dr.. appointment in a

couple of weeks, but thought I would get input here.

On the outer side of my foot (the widest part, right next to the little

toe), I have a bump. It is not a corn! My shoes rub it, & it is quite

painful to the touch. I had my husband look @ it, because i can't see

it. He said there is a dot in the middle, & he can feel it. Does this

sound typical of a nodule? I don't know what else it could be! Thanks

for any info.

Judy,

Great minds, err... toes, must think alike. I went to the website to

look if anyone else was had trouble with bunions. I have bunions

started on both my big and little toe joints. The bunion (or

bunionette or tailor's bunion) on my right little toe looks a bit like

a nodule. It almost looks like a new toe is forming. My Rheumy said

it was a bunion. Yes, it hurts like heck sometimes, but my toes are

messied up already. So I have to stop and really think about what is

causing the pain in my feet. There are pads, gel inserts, and

recommendation not to wear narrow shoes, all that will help your

feet/toe feel better.

Hi,

I have a bunion on my left big toe. My rheumatologist sent me to orthopedics and

I now wear special shoes (ugh) and inserts designed just for me (I'm very

special). At first I wanted to cry. Then I walked across a parking lot and a

street wearing my old shoes so that I would look a little nice while going out

to eat. I had to walk slowly and it was still painful. Now I wear my special

shoes and inserts all the time. it helps that there's more selection these days.
