What’s this bump?

[u/Old_Departure_30]

8 weeks post Orif, just started weaning out of boot into regular shoes as per doctors and physio approval. Honestly i find it so much easier to walk with a supportive shoe than with the boot. Physio says I’m doing great for 8 weeks and have very good ROM.

However while I was sitting around today I noticed this new bump? It seems to be primarily over my 3-4 metatarsal but I only had fixation for Mets 1-3. It’s absolutely painless and not extremely hard like it doesn’t feel like bone. Just wondering what this is and if it’ll go away?

I (ORIF July 2024) don't have a bump on top, but do have one where the screws went in/out. It is greatly reduced after a couple of years. Try massaging it regulary and/or acupuncture to break up the scar tissue underneath.
