🦶 What IS that bump on my foot?

It’s a question Dr. Gina Mendoza hears frequently, and there isn’t just one possible answer.

A lump or bump on your foot could be something relatively common and benign, such as a ganglion cyst or plantar fibroma. But because foot masses can have a variety of causes, including some that are more serious, an unexplained bump shouldn’t simply be ignored.

In this blog article, “What Is This Bump on My Foot?” Dr. Mendoza explains some of the possibilities, how they may be treated, and why getting a proper evaluation is important.

🦶 An ankle sprain is more than just a sore ankle.

Sprains happen when one or more of the ligaments that support the ankle are stretched or torn. While some are mild, others can lead to ongoing pain, weakness, or instability if they aren’t treated properly.

This patient education document (one of more than two dozen in the Mendoza Podiatry Resource Center) gives you the basics:

🔹 Common causes of ankle sprains
🔹 Symptoms to watch for
🔹 Why prompt treatment matters
🔹 Nonsurgical treatment options
🔹 When surgery may be necessary
🔹 The importance of rehabilitation

One important takeaway: Don’t assume you can simply “walk off” an ankle sprain. Even if the pain and swelling aren’t severe, the injury may still need medical attention.

📄 Check out the information sheet to learn more, and remember that you can find additional foot and ankle resources in the Resource Center at MendozaPodiatry.com.

If an ankle injury is keeping you from your normal activities, call Mendoza Podiatry at 615.826.0941 to schedule an appointment.

🍂 National Fall Prevention Awareness Day is a good reminder: Staying steady on your feet starts with taking care of them.

Foot pain, numbness, weakness, balance problems, or shoes that don’t fit properly can all make it harder to walk safely, especially as we get older.

A few simple steps can help reduce your risk of falls:

👟 Wear supportive, properly fitting shoes with good traction.
🦶 Don’t ignore foot or ankle pain that changes the way you walk.
🏠 Keep floors and walkways clear of tripping hazards.
💡 Make sure stairs, hallways, and bathrooms are well lit.
💪 Stay active to help maintain strength, flexibility, and balance.
🩺 Talk with your healthcare provider if you’ve noticed changes in your balance or mobility.

And remember: foot problems aren’t something you simply have to accept as part of getting older. If pain or other foot issues are making you less confident on your feet, we can help.
