POLL QUESTION: Is your plantar fibroma PAINFUL? Or is it just an annoying lump? 🦶Thanks for subscribing!🦶 Also let us know what topics you want to hear about! For the shoes and orthotics recommended in the video: wp.me/p9imRX-54n

[@TheAnimexion]

For me is painfull

[@johannedescoteaux3507]

For me it is not painful, just an annoying lump. However, I wonder if the numbness at the tip of of my middle toe is caused by it

[@jodyfrazier7262]

Michigan Foot Doctors a little tender most times, if at all, but direct pressure causes pain. Mine is very large on L foot. New, small one starting on R foot.

[@gilliberable]

It's not painful unless I put pressure on it (i.e. walk - since it is on ball of foot).

[@angiedixon8017]

It hurts when I touch it and more than it used to. It’s growing pretty fast. Im 50lbs overweight and had orthotics for years. What’s really hurting me, is the space between the bump and my big toe. OUCH! Thank you for the video. I appreciate your advice.

[@artabn]

Throw a small water bottle in the freezer. Take it out at night and place on a towel on the floor and rub the bottom of your foot while watching TV for a few hours. Is an effective treatment.

[@smoothmorrison7203]

These doctors are something else 😊. I just push or rub and squeeze the knot out, while I'm doing a pedicure on my feet. I like your water bottle option. Man. You listen to some of this information on this Internet that may have people looking like the elephant man 😮 ✌🏼❤️🍷

Thanks mate, work's for me..

[@shannon4768]

I had this same idea a few days ago! Awesome! If you have any orphan socks you know the ones that you never find a match for that's what I used to cover my frozen water bottle. 😊 This and a nubby foot roller have been SO helpful in relieving pain & breaking up scar tissue after surgery a few weeks ago. Extra:I have fibromas in both feet. I had one removed from my right foot 5 years ago a few weeks ago I had a complete fasciotomy in the same foot. Fortunately the one in my other foot doesn't bother me too much but now I am developing fibromas in my hands

I just want to say: As someone who has been dealing with a somewhat large, still growing plantar fibroma, THANK YOU so much for making this video. I saw one podiatrist who basically told me that I was stuck with it and to deal the pain with aspirin. I cried because it hinders my ability to do long hikes and climb mountains and I’m worried about it interfering with my job. Thank you for answering so many of my questions and offering up so many good treatment options. I really appreciate it because there was not much info I could find. 👏🏽🙏🏽🦶🏽🧡

Hello, my podiatrist just diagnosed me with plantar fibroma. Then I came across this video and your comments. I was wondering if any of these exercises have helped improve your condition.

[@Billy011]

Did this actually help any of you?

[@shannon4768]

I had a similar experience - when my first fibroma became large and painful enough to inhibit my life the first podiatrist I visited said sorry there's nothing to be done. Fortunately I found a much better doctor soon after. It's difficult dealing with such a rare disease. I'm so thankful for the people who have been treating me, the people who share expertise and experience through these good videos and good comments

[@shannon4768]

Sounds like we have had very similar experience. So great know you're not alone when you have such a rare disease. And what a great video so that we don't have to keep trying to explain it to our peoples. 👍🏼

[@kamka8149]

I have this in my left foot, in the exact spot that all documentation (diagrams and pictures on online websites) show. I was only able to start feeling an actual lump maybe about ten+ years ago, but I felt something going on in my foot more than twenty years ago, when I was still a teenager. I never smoked anything (never even tried), have never been drunk nor do I consume large amounts of alcohol, and I am not overweight. But I was born with severely twisted feet, so much so that one of my legs had to be put in a cast when I was only six weeks old, my parents had to massage my feet for hours as a baby, and once I was of walking age, the doctors prescribed them to switch my shoes around to help straighten out my feet, so I wore the right shoe on my left foot and vice versa. I don't know if that could have anything to do with the development of this fibroma. In any case, it's so annoying and I would be like to get rid of it, after suffering it for so many years...it's usually not painful, more so annoying; I would describe it as always feeling something annoying in your foot where the annoying feeling gets temporarily relieved if you press down on it or massage it hard. (I used to use a "dolphin" massager with a pointy tip that revolved at high speed and had infrared light to relieve it a bit). I think I will try to get a prescription for that cream from my GP... Fortunately there is only one that I feel, and only in one foot.

[@zsantis3831]

Thank you so much for this. You taught me more about this age how to fix it than the Dr I saw.

[@MsVshizzle]

Sciatica from sitting all day at work was aggravating my case of PF that began around March 2020. I had dry needling in the arch … awful I will never do that again. I’ve since had 3 rounds of PT. I’m finding that cupping on the calf muscle in addition to the Graston technique on the calf and arch with help with the fibroma. It’s been an extremely uncomfortable couple of years I truly believe sitting at a desk for work was the culprit.

[@FEARisCOLD]

I got it in my left foot at the age of about 28-29. It was one lump for a long time with no pain but then eventually turned into multiple and started to hurt. 12 years later, I got it in my right foot. I felt it before it turned into a lump. it was super sore for no reason because I did no walking or leaving the house that week. Within 2 weeks I developed a lump. Unfortunately it grew fast and I now have a couple bumps in the foot. In my left foot, the original bumps seem to have flattened out. Not gone but flatter. I live in NYC, I think walking a lot actually kinda helped flatten them out and stretching my feet, even though they hurt if I walk all day. Anyway, im still looking for answers as to how to actually get rid of them, not just relive the pain. Im 43, I dont want to go into old age with these things.

[@rhondashiffman8638]

I had one small fibroma on my left foot, but could feel the same sort of tissue in my left foot. So this chiropractor used a sound wave machine to break up the tissue (it was designed to break up kidney stones). Worst decision of my life. Unfortunately, they grew larger and more painful. Also, any squishy running shoes or walking on sand or gravel stretches the fascia and makes the scar tissue grow. What has worked best for me is to get cortisone shots and wear shoes that have firm lasts. They went down for a few years to barely noticeable. Then Covid happened and walking in the neighborhood with running shoes brought them back again. I'll try ice and the ball and flat firm shoes.

There is some overlap for sure, the true cause is under debate but we can see some improvement in most people for sure.

[@DrTomBiernacki]

Always check with a doctor for true diagnosis though!

[@Fluffykiwi3]

I’m confused am I supposed to roll the ball directly onto the bump cause it’s really painful and I feel like rubbing it directly will aggravate it.

I have this same question. I can't imagine pushing on it. I rather have someone kick me in the balls.

I have plantar faciitis and it's killing me. Worse on my left foot and now I see I have a plantar fibroma. I feel helpless when I am in so much pain I cannot bare to walk or bear weight. I have orthotics but nothing seems to work. I live in Michigan.

Ouch 😔 is it any better 🤔 i got it also and its painful.. im a delivery man

[@keyboardDell]

I too have both of of the devil Plantar. I used a Rolling Pin and I roll my foot back and forward over the Pin. Yes it hurt at first but you shouldn't apply more pressure than you can stand. after doing it in 3 minute intervals the pain is less and in time.....about a week you will notice a difference.

[@KTeaRn]

I also live in Michigan, Laura. I was diagnosed last June with fibromatosis, however I’ve had it much longer. Just like the doc said…people wait too long and is already a chronic issue by the time it’s treated. Anyway, I had surgery last August on my left foot. I’m worse off now. I could write a book. It has already grown back and now I have complications from the incision with adhesions and nerve damage.

[@s.rfreshexpression1232]

I’ve heard it doesn’t help break it up but makes it worse. I don’t know what to do!

[@lisaolsen9740]

Yes! I’ve read so much about this disease and most advise not to massage as it aggravates the nodules and can cause them to grow. I have had good results with enzyme injections.

I've been working on breaking up the nodule. 3-4 months It feels like every time it starts to break up it end up tearing again swelling up.
