Musculoskeletal: It sounds musculoskeletal but if it persists would get it checked out.

Question 2

i have on my left foot what looks a little bit like a verruca there are two. but i'm not sure of they are verrucas or not ?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: They can identify what they are and may even be able to remove them for you.

Question 3

my left foot and let has swollen quite a bit, it is now very painful just laying here with it elevated what should i do?

Accepted Answer

: Have you had this before? If red with being painful you may want to see a medical professional to evaluate for possible infection that may require antibiotics. If the pain is from swelling that stretches the skin, and that is unlikely if very painful, you may put warm compress in addition to elevation and pain medication. Compression stockings may be helpful if ongoing swelling for a while.

Question 4

i am getting pressure and pain on the bottom of my left foot, a bit on my right, but worse on left. i wear hard orthotics.  tried various pads, etc.

Accepted Answer

Fascitis: You could have plantar fascists. I would recommend you stretch your foot, take advil, (ibuprofen) and stop using your hard orthotics.

Question 5

i am a 33 healthy woman. my left foot back has been sowllen for 4 days and feel a little bit painful when i strech it. the color of the skin is normal

Accepted Answer

Heel cord issues?: This sounds like it might be achilles tendinitis, bursitis, among other things.  If ice, stretching, and over-the-counter antiinflammatories do not help, see a podiatrist or orthopedist.

See doc: Many dark brown spots are ok but some are melanomas.  Even experienced professionals may have trouble telling them apart.  See a dermatologist.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Recommend : Recommend that you seek immediate care from an urgent care clinic or emergency department for a definitive answer and treatment.  Do not delay treatment as it may compromise the health of your foot.

Question 9

a mild pain sometimes in left side back sholuder hands and sometimes in left foot triggers when i smoke.while smoking sometimes hands turn a bit blue

Accepted Answer

Varies: There are a number of considerations and probably starting with a good medical check up would be best.  Smoking cigarettes will usually result in at least some degree of vasoconstriction in the arms and this can aggravate other conditions as well, even to the point that necrosis of the fingers can be seen. I would definitely recommend you be seen and evaluated.

Question 10

red swollen circle appeared on side of left foot. hard to walk. don't see bite marks. didn't injure foot. any answers for me?

Accepted Answer

Could be Lyme: it could be Lyme disease and doxycycline helps that but usually we don't see that rash this time of year.  You need to see a dermatologist to get this clarified.  This could be erythema multiforme.
