Foot Bulges outside mid-foot, very painful

[DanDerringer]

I am in my late 50's and very active. Currently have a bulge on outside of right foot that gets worse by the day. Bulge portrudes out of side as much as 2 inches on busy high traffic day. Tightly laced shoes seem to help a bit but problem seems to get worse by the day. By evening I can hardly walk. Looked at drawings of foot and seems to be in styloid area. Please give me some ideas.

I assume you are speaking of the styloid process at the base of the 5th metatarsal. This bony process normally protrudes on everyone, with it being more obvious on those with narrow, skinny feet. But a 2 inch protrusion, if it really is that, needs to be seen my a doctor.

It really is 2 inches on most heavy days. I have a med. width foot and not really skinny in any way. Small protrusion on left but the right grows with fatigue.
Thanks

Then, as I initially advised, you need to see a doctor.
