small bump in the middle of anterior tibial tendon

[ekava65]

HI,
i developed some sort of inflammation (ball like - chickpea size) in the middle of my foot, right on anterior tibial tendon, little below the first joint of the big toe.Whats interesting, if i massage that area, it will go away for a few hours, but then it appears again. Any idea what could it be?

Hi
Its probably just a small swelling on the tendon. As long as it is not painful or red and isn't getting bigger then I wouldn't worry about it.
