ganglion

I have a ganglion on the top of my right foot, I have been in pain from my back to my toes on the right side lately. Does it have to do with the cyst? I do not have insurance should I smash it with a bible?????
The pain is like numbness, achy hips, sore back.
Thank you

    I hope I post this in time so you do not smash the ganglion with a bible. Actually these used to be called “bible bumps” because (ill advised) people would smash them with a heavy object to flatten them. One runs the risk of a foreign body granuloma, not to mention reoccurence of the ganglion. I can not tell you what the cause of the pain is, but I recommend you see a orthopedist, regardless of insurance or none.
