Is this arthrosis?

[Anonymous]

At the joint of the big toe, on right leg today I discovered a small bump, less than half a pea, if you press it it hurts a little, on the other leg everything is fine. I googled it - it looks like arthrosis, tell me who has encountered this problem

Omg girl, don't freak yourself out by googling everything! A little bump on your toe is probably nothing major.

Arthosis (is it arthritis?) usually happens to older people anyway. At our age, little lumps and pains are totally normal and common, especially if you're active. It could just be a tiny bone spur or something from an old injury you don't even remember.

I'd say try not to press on it so much if it hurts. Put some ice on it for a few days to reduce swelling. Make sure your shoes fit right and aren't squishing your toes. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever if it's really bothering you.

If the pain is really bad or it doesn't improve at all after a week or two, then maybe ask your mom or dad to make a quick doc appointment just for peace of mind. But honestly, it sounds super minor. Our bodies have aches and pains sometimes for no real reason. Try not to stress! Let me know if it's still bugging you after resting it.

What you are pointing to appears to be right on your vein. It is slightly red indicating some inflammation. Whatever it is it is very small. It looks more like you have just been pressing on it a lot... That said superficial thrombophlebitis (i. e. blood clots in your veins close to the surface) can cause hard, red, or tender area to appear. When they are minor they tend to clear up within 1-2 weeks on their own.
