Want this question answered?
Yes. My father had a golfball sized ganglion cyst on the top/outer side of his foot. It was eventually removed with surgery. The cyst itself was not painful, nor did it limit his movements in any way.
ruptured baker cyst
One can get "Foot Ulcers", it is very painfull having these ulcers removed.
A tendon cyst is actually called a ganglion cyst (also known as a bible bump). It is a swelling that often appears on or around joints and tendons in the hand or foot. The size of the cyst can vary over time. It is most frequently located around the wrist and on the fingers.
Often, this can be a ganglion cyst. Examination is required for precise diagnosis.
Very likely a cyst..get checked for cancer as well
The cyst will be a bump (or a lump) that will give a little with some pushing. Cysts are commonly found near joints, sometimes developing in the spaces between joints. I have a cyst in my wrist, and I personally know somebody who has a cyst on the top of her hand and somebody who has a cyst on the side of her wrist. I have also heard of cysts being found on the foot.
have it removed and get a tetanus shot
You walk funny.
i had a ruptured baker cyst 14 months ago it left my right sole of my foot numb. is there any help for this?
I have a ganglion cyst in my wrist, and I personally know two people with cysts- one has a ganglion cyst on the side of her wrist and one has a ganglion cyst on the top of her hand. One can also get cysts in other places of the body (especially near joints), but I'm not sure if cysts in other areas are also called "ganglion cysts".
Alternatives to aspiration and excision in the treatment of ganglion cysts include watchful waiting and resting the affected hand or foot
