Grrrr! I find doctors sluff things off to easy. I have this funny swelling going on in different spots on my feet, BOTH feet, same spots, it spreads in hot weather and as it is spreading, it is painful. First doctor I showed it took brushed me off saying it was a old injury... IN BOTH FEET? SAME PLACES? Next doctor said it could be fluid, muscle growing (excuse me? On the top of my foot?) OR fatty deposits... (ON my FEET?) A foot doctor says " OH! That is your such and such muscle".... I did the whole gammit of stuff that I asked if your mother did and NOTHING helped so it is still there. I just gave up and am living with these odd soft bulges on my feet that hurt when the weather is HOT.... Shucks, I should have asked my dentist, maybe he would have had a better answer than the rest of them did. I will keep asking until somebody can tell me what it is and what to do for it.
