about 6 years ago i was a work one night and felt an excruciating pain in my foot and had no idea what it was.my foot became very swollen almost instantly and i noticed an egg shape lump on the top of the foot.since then i have been going to the doctor frequently and was even referred to a rheumatologist which i saw every month for almost two years.my symptoms baffled him,and within that period i developed what is called Reynauds disorder,which has become quite severe in the last couple of years.his answer was that i had Lupus but all my blood work showed otherwise.I still get those lumps on the top of my feet.the severity depends on the lump.if my foot is really swollen then the pain is tolerable and i can somewhat "limp" to walk or if there is not too much swelling and only the big lump then the pain is unbearable and i can not walk on the foot at all.the length of the "flare" as the doctor called it,varies.it can occur quite suddenly and last anywhere from a couple of days to over a week,go three months with out having any symptoms or have reoccurring symptoms every couple of weeks.it also makes my body feel sick in a way,i get a slight fever from it as well.none of the doctors i have seen till this day have been able to give me any answers,nevermind a solution.i've had a MRI done on one of the feet when i had a slight lump and all they said was that it looked like maybe a cyst that dissolves.if you or anyone else have any idea,any comments and/or answers would be highly appreciated.i dont know what else to do
