2 Months ago I was diagnosed with plantar fibromatosis. I had only one pea sized nodule on the bottom of my right foot. An ultrasound was done, and the joint diagnosis was a fibroma, and the recommendation was surgery. Fortuanaltely for the internet I was able to discover the complications of foot surgery. I told the doc I would wait and see. 2 weeks later a second almond sized nodule surfaced in the arch nearer the heel. Now I had 2 and was getting ready for the worst, ( meaning surgery ). But my mother always avoided the knife like the plague, and all of her three children have suvived 50+ ignoring the scapel. I began to apply ARNICA on the sole of my foot three times a day. The pea is gone and the almond appears to be shrinking and is certainly less inflamed. I DO NOT know the connection, but if Arnica, harmless and at less than a dollar an ounce, is having apositive effect,,,,well so be it. I just wanted to mention this in case anyone else tries this and gets results. It would be great to finally see something that really works for this disease.

I have had this on both feet for over 50 years and while I was frightened into having tradional surgery on my right hand twice with bad outcome, I was always told to just leave the feet alone which I did. The lumps go up and down and have stayed basically the same..just do a wait and see before having surgery..

you can buy in health food stores...I tried and it didn't work...supposed to help in bruising as well and that didn't work either...good luck and hope it works with you..
