Frankincense Essential Oil
★★★★★
Pretty sure it was a plantar fibroma. I noticed on Earth Clinic that one person had used frankincense. Well, that always works well for me and I had it on hand.
Before bed each night, I massaged some frankincense essential oil into the arch of my foot. I also did some gentle stretching.
Within a week the lump in my arch was gone! No more pain and tenderness!

Dear Angela,
I used Frankincense frereana/carterii from Hopewell oils.
It is a staple in my house and I use it for many things!

You might want to start with Epsom Salt soaks. And/or Green Clay poultices or soaks.

Carol, Mix both bee wax and Vaseline together with a little turmeric in it and apply to any of these types of complaints and seal with plastic or plaster to seal it away from the air. When changing plaster, etc rub with a hard towel after washing to get the pieces that it is been killed off, off the foot.

I have just started a treatment of physical therapy, cupping, and dry needling. After one session pain significantly reduced. I think I am on to something. Stay tuned, I will give updates.

Denise (Potomac) Please do keep us updated on your Ledderhose/plantar fibromatosis! Runs in the family, and now my daughter has it. Never heard of cupping and dry needling for it (I've had multiple surgeries - including fasciectomies - on both my feet). Some idiot at Kaiser thought there was fluid and tried to aspirate; now my daughter is in pain and her fibromas are more than double the size they were two days ago. We live 3000 miles apart, so I can't take her to my doctor.

Hello Andrea,
Re the multiple problems;
Here are a couple of things you might try...first see a google site pdf "the wonder drug cabbage" and also read about "cabbage" under remedies here in Earth Clinic.
You might follow the directions of how to prepare a leaf or leaves of cabbage to wrap one foot leaving the other without the benefit of the cabbage poultice. This would be an overnight experiment. Of course, you wrap the cabbage compress in a plastic so as to protect the bedding.
That pdf site (a book) is amazing...full of examples of how the writer over decades used cabbage as a healer.
Well, which takes us to what might be causing the COMPLEX of issues you are facing and you ask ... could they be related?
You just might be right. Maybe the basis of the Fibroma is perhaps a fungi. In which case you'd have to follow an anti fungi remedy. Bill Thompson (Bill from the Philippines on EC Posts) has a book on Candida and Fungi...Killing So Sweetly which would help you.
And if the Cabbage Cure helps for one foot and then helps with the other, you know that some juicing using mainly cabbage would be a benefit.
But if me, I'd surely try the Cabbage Cure for a night or two.

Plantar Fibromatosis, Dupuytrens Contracture, and Peyronies are related manifestations of fibrous tumors that grow on the tendons & fascia of feet, hands, and penis (in that order). Typically genetic, most often appearing in middle age (40's), these tumors have nothing to do with fungi.
These conditions are in no way related to Plantar Fasciitis or "plantar warts".

I was glad to see Leslie's post clarifying the issue since many seem to have confused various conditions. I had plantar fibroma on one foot in 2007 and found an article in a podiatry journal about the (then) new use of cryosurgery for this. I found in PA one of a few US podiatrists who use cryosurgery, and it went well, no recurrence. Later I had PF on other foot and again had cryosurgery, again a good outcome (just a few days of recovery). Wikipedia mentions cryosurgery for plantar fibroma, but hardly anyone seems aware of it (including many podiatrists, at least 5-10 years ago).

My podiatrist asked if I had anyone in my family with trigger finger, as the above post said this runs in families. It is showing up in my little finger and palms of my hands now. It is also in the tendon down the outside of my legs, I wondered for years what those painful bumps were and no doctor could tell me. My doctor has a compounding pharmacy mix verapamil-anyhydrous gel. I used it 2 - 3 times a day for 3 minutes for probably 3 months. It reduced them enough I was pain free from 2011. My feet were bothering me again. I hated to check again and there is one about the size of a grape and and of course a line of smaller ones. They say you have these if you have Viking blood, gives me a chuckle and my imagination can roam while I rub my feet again. I will rub this in my hands also. All of this in 2011 nearly led to a completely torn achilles tendon as I attempted to do the stretch exercises for planter fascistic, the more I hurt the more I tried to do my stretches. I am thankful for a good doctor who frowns on surgery because of the damage and they come back often with a vengence. I have Arnica cream and pills so I will give them a try until I get more verapamil gel. My doctor is Mark Lambert, Pensacola Foot and Ankle, he is the best!

I read that someone got a b12 shot in the soft tissue area for frozen shoulder. I wonder if that is the missing link.

Fibromas on fascia of feet (Ledderhose aka plantar fibromatosis), hands (Dupuytrens), and penis (Peyronies) are all somewhat related, and are familial. Resist surgical procedures for Ledderhose (on your feet) as long as possible (apply "donuts" around the tumors to alleviate pressure on the tumor), but as the tumor grows and must bear your entire weight, there are currently NO EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS. Ledderhose surgery will spawn more tumors (this is not the case with surgery on Dupuytrens; not sure about Peyronies), so a complete fasciectomy is necessary (the fascia is the "petri dish" on which these tumors grow). Then the tumors will appear on the side of your foot, necessitating care in selecting shoes, but at least they are not weight-bearing or painful. Sad but true ... I have these conditions on all four limbs (I'm female, so can skip the Peyronies! ), and several of my known relatives had these fibromas, and now my daughter has Ledderhose - AND she can't find doctors who know how to treat it!! One actually thought there was fluid and tried to aspirate, and now my daughter has painful masses twice the size as before. Lawsuit ...

Use Tramadol (for pain) and Verapamil 15% (for the calcium deposits). You can have your doctor prescribe this to a pharmacy and the will prepare a compound GEL.
I have Ledderhouse and this has reduced my lesion to almost nothing and takes the pain away. Overtime this combination should eliminate it altogether or at the very least reduce it.

I tried steroid injections, laser therapy, acoustic therapy, physical therapy, padding and RF coblation. All seemed to work for a short time, but the fibroma on my left foot returned aggressively. I finally had the fibroma removed with a subtotal fasiacotomy followed by radiotherapy. It has been a year now and no recurrence! I do have a little stiffness in the foot, but does not limit my activity. This approach with surgery and radiotherapy is intensive and you should really consider whether you have the stamina to endure and whether the risk are worth the outcome. It was difficult, but the outcome so far has been fantastic. I am currently treating a fibroma on the right foot and will probably have to go down the same road, again.

Nattokinase
★★★★★
Have had plantar fibromatosis for years on both feet. had to quit jogging a while back due to them. decided to give nattokinase a try and worked very well in about 2 weeks of use, twice daily - internally. the pills are 2000 FUs each. I also put pharmaceutical grade dmso on the nodules topically, but I really just think it's the Nattokinase doing the job.

Stretching
★★★★☆
The one on my hands I can handle the pain by stretching them, but on my feet it is getting worse pain wise (still same size) but pain is getting toward my heel which it started to bother me, with the constan weight I put on them. None of my family got this problem.
The pain on my feet get lesser if I stretch them rolling a glass bottle in the morning before work and at night before bed some times during the day if pain is insoportable. I'm going to try Apple cidar vinegar to see what happens.
