I have had severe pain at the base of my Fith metatarsal and a small notice lump also I have had an MRI which says there is no fracture or tendonitis. It states though that prominent veins are noted within planter soft tissue extending proximal lay into the region of the posterior tibial veins with the appearances suggesting varicose ties and deep vein incompetence. HISTORY Pain noticed on holidays after long haul flight I did know the painful area on a table unsure if this is related. Base of Fith metatarsal in very tender I do not have any other leg or calf pain I am thirty seven years old and obese Could this be a dvt. Thanks
