This is very weird. I have a slow increasingly bigger swelling (or something) near the ball of my left foot... NO pain.... just a very uncomfortable enlargement that I've noticed the last 6 weeks. When I step down on my foot my 2nd/3rd toes separate... I have this vision of this thing getting so big I will be growing on it AND I do not like doctors and their offhanded/disinterested manner (in conjunction with not having a clue) while I'm sitting there convinced I have a rare incurable disease that will only require me to find a quiet place to die... with my dog. I'm certain someone has some info on this kind of thing... I'm counting on it... Doctors have to play golf... real healing comes from correct information and places like this are the most likely sources... Or do I have to get my dog and find a place? Thanks... gary

Not to point out the obvious, but people on the Internet can't really diagnose something that they can't see and aren't qualified to diagnose, anyway. Have you at least *seen* a doctor?
