Causes
For the most part it is unknown what causes a ganglion cyst. It is thought however to be a product of a trauma from a single event or micro trauma from multiple repetitive events. Symptoms include the formation of a lump or bump on the foot with a dull ache or pain with tingling or numbness in some cases if a nerve is involved. Also there may be pain or difficulty wearing shoe gear due to the cystic mass.
