Normal to have painful lump on injection spot after sprained ankle?
Patient: About 4 months ago I went to the foot doctor with a sprained ankle. He shot my foot twice with an "herbal" injection. This month I developed a lump where the in injection was. It feels like a bone mass and it's the size of a marble. It hurts really bad to the touch and also hurts when I move my foot. Does this sound normal? Should I get a second opinion? Doctor: Hi,This is not normal after the treatment you describe. The problem could be related to the injection or due to the underlying problem. There may be infection. I suggest you see your foot doctor for further assessment. Regards,Dr K A Pottinger
