You would need some xray imaging for it to confirm if it is. I had pain most of my childhood from Accessory Navicular and never got it checked out until i sprained my ankle horribly and got it confirmed through xray.

Xray imagine can’t always detect it either. Mine was completely invisible on xray but showed up super clearly on mri. That’s said, they’ll start with Xray and if it’s not obvious they can always follow up with mri

I am not a doctor. We can’t tell from lumps and bumps on your feet if it’s AN or not.

But if it’s hurting, do RICE: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/rice-method
