Hang in there Flojo - but just take a little more care of your feet during yoga. I was able to continue normal activity when the nodules remained pea-sized, which was for 3 or 4 years. Once they started progressing (ie. hardening and getting symptomatic) I had to adjust my activity.

All the best

Thanks, Wolfgang, for cautioning me. I definitely need to wait to see if it develops into a problem. I think that I probably really did sprain my foot transitioning from one pose to another in yoga.

Hello,

I have Ledderhose in the arch of my right foot (Lump the size of a grape). and yes, I have burning, stabbing, tearing pain when it is warm out, after I remove footwear, and at night before, during, and after bed. It is a condition that, unfortunately, only gets worse as the disease progresses. If the disease is not dealt with in time, and one waits, the condition only worsens to the point that walking or bearing weight on the foot become almost impossible,due to severe pain. I am having mine surgically removed, which typically has to be done twice before it is sucessful, (Acording to the Podiatry Surgeons),unfortunately. Not many people chose this method for dealing with it, but I'm taking my chances as all other methods are more temporary, and have to be dealt with more often. I would see a foot specialist and get a correct diagnosis to make sure it is in fact Ledderhose disease, and if so, I would aggressively seek out the treatment that is best for you before it progresses too far and becomes more problematic. I wish you all the best and I hope you find a treatment that works for you...Take care, Metzie.
