Bony lump on side of foot
![[Deleted User]](https://w7.vanillicon.com/72834d66b72b44868f52e9524320a93b_100.png)
I have noticed that just below and slightly forward of my ankle I have a bony lump on my left foot. My right foot is completely flat in this area and when I look down at my feet you can clearly see the difference.
When I press it there is some slight soreness - I am not aware of it when I am running, although is does ache a bit after a long run(10K)
I have only been running for 6 months and average around 5 - 10 miles a week with one long run.
Someone at work said it might be a spur, however from surfing I am not so sure.
Can anyone advise me a)on what it is b) who would be the best injury specialist - a podiatrist?

you could go and see your GP too - although its probably nothing to worry about
a regular podiatrist or chiropodist would be able to give you information
Sounds similar to what I have (harmless)- appeared suddenly when I was in my teens, (I freaked until my Mum told me she has exactly the same thing) never went away, gets slightly sore if I wear shoes which create too much friction on it for running or wrong walks, as you described. Not sure what sort of doctor to go to, maybe GP first?
I had one on the top of my foot just under the tongue of the show - it disappeared when I started lacing my shoes differently. It was there for a couple of months though.
The Future - whats the relevance of upping my weekly mileage?
Funny I thought this forum was supposed to be a source of help. First time I 've come across being slammed by an expert!
nah
