Lump in Instep – Calcified Broken Glass?
(3 discussions)
About 10-12 months ago I stepped on some broken glass and thought I’d picked all of the pieces out.
However, now I’ve got a painful pea sized lump in the exact spot (instep).
The lump is getting more and more painful.
I’ve tried ‘draining’ it without success.
It seems kind of like a hard lump now and is ever more painful.My questions are1) Has anyone else experienced same?2) What are my options?
Thanks for any info.Mouse

My initial guess is the “lump” may be a plantar fibroma. An examination by a podiatrist would be the best thing to do to be sure.

Hey, I was so happy to find that someone else has had the same experience as me! I actually just today got my lump removed. It was an easy procedure, it hurt a bit, and now my foot is healing. I was actually on here looking for more info because my doctor didn’t tell me much about it. My suggestion to you, get an ultrasound done on it, and get it removed as soon as possible. I let mine go for a couple years and it became very painful for me to walk. The lump that the doctor ended up removing was sort of hard and white. Mine was about the size of a quarter in circumference and probably a bit less than half of an inch thick. It was pretty gross! I’m so glad that it’s out now!

also, in regards to what the other person posted; I don’t believe it was a plantar fibroma.
