I suffered excruciating pain from this to the point I was crawling on my hands and knees - in a two story house. Couldn't walk. Knots of pain all over the bottoms of both feet. It lasted two weeks. I found out two of my cousins had it too. It hasn't returned for 14 years, thank heaven, because it completely incapacitates you.

I love this doctor Very informative and understanding

Hey, I just wanted to say thank you so much. My podiatrist couldn't give me a solid diagnosis but after watching this video and after the details she gave me, I am fairly sure that it's a plantar fibroma. You really do help people and I also wanted to say that your video setup is impressive. I hope you have a good day.

thank you for sharing, very helpful

Excellent, matter of fact guidance and advice. Not alarmist. Not linked to a product. In fact, I was about to order an orthotic insole when I spotted this and thought again. I broke my right foot Aug 2020, had to weight bear in casts as my mother, for whom I care, was laid up in bed for several weeks just days later. I thought the increasing pain in my left foot was plantar fascitis because of the change in my gait on right side. Last night I felt the lump in the arch. Very similar to nodule in my right hand caused by Depuytrens Contracture. This video has helped me keep it in perspective. Thank you.

Thank you so much! Very Helpful!

Thank you! Very informative!

Thank you for the comment and sharing your experience

Thank you.Aften noticing a growth in my arch I finally got the answers by watching this video.Very informative.

Thank you.

Very helpful.

Lots of great info all in one video. Learned a lot. Some of this information took me months to find out, but this video has a lot of what you need and more.

Very informative.

I was told by a podiatrist to wear a hard orthotics, to try a deading the pain. It worked.

Good, good, good to know.

I have two screws in my right heel and staples along both sides of that foot. How would I get muscle on that right foot side I find it extremely hard to gain muscle my leg deteriorating

I'm curious if I were to get a surgery to remove a (currently) small fibroma how soon would I be able to walk a considerable distance? Jog? Run?

i have this on both feet, had surgery on my left foot, they removed a big lump but now the plantar is larger with more lumps and hurts a hell of alot more, now they are fitting me for a orthotic but the damage is already done, have no idea what to do now

Thank you so much doctor, I have them under my feet and i am so afraid because am diabetic, but after watching your video am a beat relax.

Thank you for this information!! I started wearing really hard arch support, due to overpronation, and it was after this i noticed the fibroma. I wonder if i got it due to trauma from the arch support? It has been two years or so, is it ok to wear arch support? It is still there, and it flares up a little when i massage it😕

I have a not in my arch but have no pain at the nodule but my toes are going numb

Very well explained! Unfortunately I am one of the unlucky ones with fibromatosis and have tried cortisone, orthotics, and now trying cryotherapy administered through a syringe under anesthesia. The first procedure helped improve the pain somewhat, but it's looking like a second treatment will be needed for my left foot at least. I just had the right foot treated and hoping for better results as he went deeper with the syringes for the right foot. I am hoping this works because I am not even 40 years old and work a very physical job that requires me to be on my feet constantly. I have one large mass 5cm in length and 2 cm in width on my left fascia, and two marble sized nodules on my right foot. So hopefully the cryotherapy works because surgical removal I really don't feel comfortable doing.

Thank you. My nodule is about 1cm in diameter and just before the bull of the foot but at the edge of the arch. I think I created it with a tear from doing star jumps and perhaps the wrong type of shoes. But I have had an ultrasound of the foot and am awaiting the results from my GP. Your video is very very good at helping explain what it may be.

I have plantar fibroma on my right side in middle of both foot 👣 it is from my birth what should I do pls suggest

Don`t know if you can help but i have a lump and this sounded like mine but mine is on the heel rather than the arch. Would it not be this? It wasn`t sore but now it is painful and difficult to walk on. My GP does not know?

I feel like my toes on both feet are constantly at risk of cramping literally every time for years now if I kneel down on both legs and sit back on my feet = my toes cramp. If I turn in bed on my front and my feet can't dangle off the end of the bed but I have to bend the ankles = my toes cramp. walking around barefoot for a while = a toe cramp. basically, they are in a constant state of tension, and no around of ice, anti-inflammatory meds, or rolling my foot on a massage ball has ever helped ad I have this plantar fibroma knot in each foot. Been wearing orthotics for years so might now consider not having them for a month or 2 and see if makes a difference running out of options

How can you tell if it’s a fibrous and not a leiomyoma?

I still wounder why you should not use orthotics and arch support. Don't you need to unload/relieve the arch in order for it to heal faster and better blood flow?

My fibroma is relatively small and cannot be seen by looking. It can be felt though, and when i pull back my toes the lump becomes less pronounced (i feel it less). Is this strange? My sports doctor didnt really advise me to do surgery or not and left the decision to me, i feel so helpless. Im only 20 years old

could lumps in foot be toxoplasmosis I believe in UK they test for lyme and toxoplasmosis

hello can someone answer me about my situation. I have plantar fibroma for about 3 months without treating it, but suddenly i noticed that it turned dark and was going flat, plus it was painless. The pain that occuring in it just disappeared and it looks just like how it was before except it's dark, can someone tell me what's going on, is it treated or is it not?

The hands should also be examined for a proper diagnosis. In my case, I had swollen finger joints and later fibromas on the palmar fascia. The specialist I consulted in London described my problem as Dupuytren's Syndrome. He advised against surgery to remove the foot fibromas becayuse they typically returned larger than before after surgical removal.

My husband has several on both feet. They are not going away. Just getting bigger. I think he needs to get surgery before it gets worse?

I’m so confused. I have heard that you “should “ support the arch, that by doing so, it doesn’t tear and create nodules. I also heard that those nodules should be massaged to be dissolved. 🧐

Unfortunately I developed very painful plantar fibromas and my left foot several years ago. They continue to get larger until surgery was required 2 YEARS ago. It was extremely invasive but I'm happy I did it and have had no regrowth. You could also try pain management which can include steroid injections and your spine to numb the nerve that goes down to your foot. This is an awesome option!

The idiot doctor I went to told me to get high arch supports for my work boots. No wonder my feet kill me!!

Should I get the surgery I get painful throbbing sometimes at night and I'm on my feet a lot since I work in a warehouse walking

Thank you. It is becoming moreand more painful. My GP said it may be an abcess but it is nothing typical of an abcess. There is no entry mark of ever having a foreign object in either so i am stumped.

I wouldn't recommend Fibrozonelax Miracle

I was like ok cool I probably wont need surgery and then at the end you say if there are more than one on a foot than you might need surgery...great

Ive tried all of recommendations, my insurance did not cover orthotics, so I’m stuck

Hi has anyone been successful in living with this just got diagnosed. They said they won't take it out unless it's absolutely Necessary. Just need some hopeful news mine is small right now I'm an avid walker and hiker.

I just had surgery as my plantar fascia is to "short" as well. But my Doctor cut the bone in two and using HyProCurve screws he put them together and the result became a higher arch(1-1.5cm). I hope this helps. Thanks for the information.

Why are my big toes burning from these 2 fibromas

I’m only 12 years old it kinda hurts but sometimes it doesn’t and of course I’m afraid of surgery so that is really not an option unless must it’s kinda medium size and is not getting bigger I really want it to go away.

Does this ever go away on it's own?

I thought I had this :(, turns out I had rhabdomyosarcoma, a type of cancer :(

My brother is facing fibromitosis tumor in upper left (chest) he has done surgery once but tumor reoccur he has to much pain in left hand we just want some solution please help us we are doing everything for him please help please 😢

yes I know what causes plantar fibroma it's when you are pregnant and are having to stay on your feet 24\7 it's marik I borrowed this device and internet

IF i WEAR SHOES WITH OUT ARCH SUPPORT MY FOOT KILLS ME. iF I WEAR ARCH SUPPORT IN THAT AREA OF MY FOOT i HAVE NO PAIN AT ALL. sO I THINK HE MUST BE TALKING ABOUT SOMEONE WITH A HUGE KNOT IN THEIR FOOT. i DO NOT SEE HOW YOU CAN NOT USE ARCH SUPPORTS WITH THIS FIBROMA. MINE IS SMALL BUT WITHOUT SHOES WITH A ARCH SUPPORT IT KILLS ME AND HURTS SO BAD.

Forget all the comments below me , forget whatever this guy just said , I had one of the biggest fibromas on the books , and just by using appple cyder vinegar . It is all gone .

I heard apple cider vinegar helps

There is an excellent orthotic for this I have tried - it is is the Arches type 1 by footmind.

I think this is a super question for a physical therapist. Sorry not more helpful
