Ganglions
While the exact reason for why Ganglions develop is unknown, contributing factors could be from trauma, whether that is a single event or recurrent microtrauma. This condition may be associated with symptoms such as a noticeable lump, burning or tingling, dull ache or pain, and difficulty wearing shoes from irritation. Ganglions can cause uncomfortable sensations if the cyst is touching a nerve. Any pain or aching can indicate the cyst has pressed against your joint or tendon. You may also be struggling to wear shoes from friction between the shoe and lump. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, then we recommend reaching out for treatment.
To diagnose you with a Ganglion cyst, we first have to do an examination of your foot. The lump may be visibly apparent, and when pressed in a certain way, may move freely beneath your skin. We may examine it by shining a light through the cyst and possibly removing a small amount of fluid for evaluation. Our doctor may take an x-ray or use other imaging to get a more clear picture of the cyst. There are many treatment options for Ganglions, such as noninvasive approaches or surgical procedures. We may suggest monitoring the cyst if it does not interfere with walking or other activities, keeping an eye on it overtime. We may offer shoe modifications, drain the fluid from the cyst, or advise having it removed surgically. For more information about Ganglions and treatment options, contact us today!
