Weird lump on the ball of my foot.

x2

That's interesting on Wiki. Never heard of it. It's possible. Not so much painful as numbness which can also be the case. Unfortunately it has very slowly been getting worse not better. So not going the right direction. So far it is an annoyance, not a hindrance. I will go to the doc if it continues.

On the other notes.... since a young age anytime I felt anything I thought I had cancer. I have no idea why because nobody in my family had it. I'm a  bit of a hypochondriac in that sense, except I have been very healthy my whole life and never go to the doctor. SO FAR, that has not been true, but it is always my first diagnosis.

Definitely sounds like a Morton's Neuroma.  I have one in my left foot.  Got fitted for custom inserts and it made a HUGE difference.  I was at the point where trying to run or even walk 2 miles was miserable.  

Going to have to have the cleats moved back on my bike shoes because the position they're currently in is exacerbating the neuroma. 

So I read that and what are inserts supposed to do? Right now I want to cut a hole in my shoe insert just to give perceived room to the perceived lump. I'm not going to, but curious about the inserts.

Thanks a bunch. I'll go pick it up and check it out.
