I would be grateful for anybody who knows of a Podistrist that has experience with this disease in toronto or ontario, or even Canada.

Guys; Don't forget the "do nothing" option.

Over the past 45 years with LD in both feet I have had periods where it has caused me pain but ignore it and push through does work.

I think that the growth of the lumps causes ligaments etc to be displaced and this causes pain but once this all settles down the pain goes away and you simply end up with another lump.

Hi greenlam; I don't want to give you the impression that I haven't had to deal with significant pain from time to time. My experience though is that by pushing through and not protecting my feet the pain does go away.

I have had surgery once and the lump returned in the same spot but twice the size. In my twenties the lumps in the arches of my feet would rub on the on my shoes and I would get blisters but after a time the skin became leathery and the blisters stopped.

In recent years I have had new lumps form forward of the arches. I enclose an image of my most recent troublesome problem (Apologies for the gross image of an old foot). For several months this caused significant pain due, I think, to pressure on surrounding bones. I was contemplating intervention when the pain started getting less. Now, once again, I have lumpy feet but no pain.

I spent a lot of time on this and I’m pretty sure you won’t find anyone who is up-to-date on treatment such as hyaluronidase injections. They will offer you steroid injections. That’s it. If you want something different you’ll have to pay out-of-pocket to go to the United States. If I’m wrong about this I’d love to hear who you find! Maybe things have changed since the last time I looked. Best to you. I talked to two of the top podiatrist in Toronto area, referred by my chiropodist - he knows who is good. No luck.
