General Bag Work

[Transk53]

Okay, this is probably going to bit WTH. Yesterday while throwing in a few low leg shots and simulated cuts, I noticed something a bit strange on the side of my foot. Basically on the inside I have a small marble sized lump. For the life of me I do not understand why I have not noticed before, I suppose it comes down to having ugly feet. Anyway it does not hurt, I can press on it and have zero pain. Any ideas peeps, gristle or something?

yup got the same problem with the callouses on my hands and my feet too

basically the skin has just hardened over time and cos it just gets used to hitting the bag or whatever - best thing you can do i cut it off with a razor type blade --- it won't bleed at all cos the skin cells are totally dead just cut off the hard bit that's all. when you've done it the skin underneath will look "glossy" and that's the new skin that's been portected by the dead cells

you could always go and see your doctor and they'll just do the same thing - might even cautorize it which really does hurt.

hope this helps

Could be a callous of some sort or cyst. Don't know; doesn't really sound like a callous and I think you'd recognize it as such. I'd suggest talking to a doc if you're worried about it.

That is what is strange, a cyst would be softer. The lump feels like bone.

Don't know. Not seeing it in person. Not a doc. If you're worried, have someone with medical credentials check it out.

Too many possibilities to even guess. Go get it checked if it worries you.

 

[Transk53]

Not worried but best get it checked this week.

the doc'll either just cut it off or cautorise it --- best get them to do it if you're not sure

Pre-empt it, thanks Donna , not a bad idea. Problem is that I try and feel around the area, I am becoming more convinced that it is a bone spur. Then agian maybe I am being too doom and gloom. If it is a cyst, then yeah I will go for the shopwork.

 

[donnaTKD]

you sir are most welcome

if it is a bone spur then that'll mean surgery - so either ways you're prolly looking at a bit of time off for good behaviour oh and some surgery too

hope your trip to the doc's is a happy one
