can you tell me how i can reduce my foot swelling?

All three for example should be treated differently...

Question 3

what causes outer foot swelling and pain when walk?

Accepted Answer

See a podiatrist: If this is a chronic problem, you have to rule out a fracture or tendonitis, or both.  You may have injured it without knowing.  It may even be a nerve pinched in that area or your back.  I would suggest having it properly examined and get x-rays.  If you continue to walk with pain, you risk injuring it more, changing the way you are walking and creating a new problem because of compensation.

Question 7

is foot swelling common with a torn meniscus?

Accepted Answer

Not really: The actual meniscus tear does not cause foot swelling. The meniscus tear can cause fluid within the knee joint, which tends to inhibit your quad muscles in a way that makes you limp. The limping is what causes pain in the calves and inner thigh along the hamstrings. Limping around a lot is much more likely to cause the swelling in the foot than the actual meniscus tear.
