I have an apparent cyst in my foot that is reminding me of its presence with every. step. I. take.
OUCH!
I talked with my mom about it this morning and she said it's genetic.
My mother, my grandfather, my mom's sister (my aunt), and now I have all had cysts lodged between the bones of their/our left feet in mid to late 20's. All of the others who have suffered from this odd malfunction had to have surgery to correct it.
How weird!
Here's to hoping and praying this pain with every step goes away without surgery!
