What Causes Lump On The Top Of Toe Joint?
Hi I have a hard lump on the top of my big toe joint (where the toe joins my foot). It s as hard as bone, the size of a large pea and more prominent when I bend my toe but doesn t hurt. It s been there several months and doesn t appear to have changed in size at all, what could this be and should I visit my doctor? Many thanks, Jen
