CC: foot pain

Pea-size nodule on the top of the foot (see image attached - area of discomfort circled in red). Pain is excruciating when applying gentle pressure on it - even gentle palpation will cause 3/10 discomfort. Cannot wear shoes that rub on it because he will get sharp pain.

Nodule appeared after bumping the top of the foot on the bottom lip/ledge of a cabinet about 5-6 yrs ago.

Doesn't have a history of hip, low back, leg issues on the affect side of the foot.

He's seen a foot doctor that diagnosed him with arthritis and told him he has to live with it.

I had a consult with this person so not yet a patient. Is this something that can be treated with acupuncture. He's looking for pain relief.

What do you think @Exstoreman?

Okay can we talk about cortisone injections? What are your thoughts about pairing them with acupuncture or electro-acu? @Exstoreman and anyone else who has experience/ opinions. My thoughts are that we are causing inflammation and cortisone injections are stopping inflammation. So to me, they seem counter-productive!

This is the article that Anthony referenced during the Intro to Curve Analysis webinar...

This article talks about muscle inhibition, nociception, adaptation and includes references.
