Question 10

what could cause foot swelling throbbing constantly and oain when any weight is put on it for awhile?

Accepted Answer

: I assume there has been no trauma as the cause.  If you can pinpoint the throbbing pain &amp; swelling to a joint,especially the big toe, acute arthritis caused by gout would be most likely. Other possibilities could be a stress fracture, cellulitis ( a bacteria skin infection) or other inflammatory joint conditions. You should be examined by a physician for xray,accurate diagnosis &amp; proper treatment.
