<br />
I have a lump on top of my foot near the base of the big toe. After having it drained 4 times by podiatrists who had no idea what it is, I found an orthopedic surgeon, specializing in feet, who had me get an MRI. Apparently the cyst is caused by two bone spurs and surgery is advised. I’m terrified and untrusting. Any thoughts?...<br />
