    Default Large knot on foot from dancing.

    Ive been training REALLY hard on the pole lately,
    My foot has a HUGE brown knot on it, I use to get a small bruise , but this is insane!
    Its unattractive, and very painful, I dont practice with boots at home, Because i was trying to get
    my feet use to the pain, But now im worried to even get back on.
    Im not new at dancing, But im VERY new at doing it this hard everyday.

    Should i stop until the knot is gone, Or "play threw the pain".

    So, it's going to sound odd, but I recently read something about a really old woman like 90 getting a huge painful bruise on her ankle.
    Nothing was working for it, and her daughter came across literature on Urine Therapy. Supposedly (and I've never tried this though
    I'd be willing to for a bruise) she taped a fresh bandage soaked in the grandmother's urine on the bruise three times a day, and within
    a couple of days it was a lot better.

    Otherwise, you can massage with a frozen spoon to help squish out the dead blood in the area and bring fresh blood in. But since it's
    on such a sensitive spot, I'm not sure how much you're going to be able to push on it. If it was just ugly bruising, I would suggest applying
    a minty toothpaste to it and putting saran wrap over it and sleeping like that several nights in a row (I've done this on a huge thigh bruise
    and it mellowed out the purple/black to a yellow that was more club lighting friendly.) I don't remember it it helped with the pain or not
    since mine had more to do with skin, fat, and muscle rather than skin, ligament, and bone.

    I would say to take it easy for the next week. Not to stop the training, but work on your upper body moves, and inverted splits-- things that you wouldn't
    necessarily need to put pressure on that part of your foot. Inversely, you're dominant on one side so you're probably putting most of the pressure on
    this one foot over and over. Try to train your other side (which will take awhile) so that you can easily switch between putting stress on your right
    shoulder/elbow/foot and putting it on your left shoulder/elbow/foot. It'll feel awkward at first, but once you practice enough, it should limit your repetitive
    stress injuries since both sides/joints are sharing the burden.
