Ok I've already been to a dr about this but oh man it's frustrating. I've had a serious pain in my foot in one spot for a couple months now and finally couldn't take the pain anymore. It had also formed a visible lump. So since I had a diabetic checkup scheduled anyway I mention this godawful painful thing on my foot. She feels it for a minute, says it's a ganglion cyst and tells me to wear an ace bandage on my foot every day. End of story.
now the way this thing is situated it doesn't hurt to walk really and it doesn't hurt if I can keep it at a good 45 degree angle. But if I forget and flex my foot in any goddamn direction it hurts like hell and will hurt until I can get my foot settled back down in the 45 degree angle position again.
So I've managed to keep it relatively pain free during the day with the bandage and keeping it at that angle. It hurts like hell when I go to bed though cause I can't avoid having my foot move in different directions, but it eventually settles down and I can sleep.
So has anyone had one of these before? Is this bandage idea really going to help in the long term? It's been almost a week with the bandage and it's already getting old. I just want this thing gone
