Question 1

does ovarian cancer cause leg numbness and foot swelling?

Accepted Answer

Possibly : If it has metastasized to other parts of the body such as the spinal cord, then there is a possibility. I would ask your oncologist to look further into this if you are having numbness in your legs and feet. Also if you are getting chemo therapy, this may be the cause of the swelling and numbness in your legs and feet vs the cancer. However, do ask you doctor who is treating you.

Question 2

i had a metal hitch drop on top of my ankle/foot. severe pain, swelling, bruising and numbness in toes. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Numbness can be caused fro swelling Crush injuries are always tough. If it doesn't improve or gets worse over the next 2-3 days, have it checked for any fractures. Use ice, rest and NSAIDS.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Headache: If you are already established with a neurologists for a neurological condition i think visiting him now is a good start. Hope you feel well soon.

Question 4

fractured fibula, high ankle sprain 5 wk. no surgery, immobilized, no weight. still having signif. foot swelling, numb toes and darker color top foot.

Accepted Answer

Let me explain: The fracture have not healed yet, the numbness have to do with some nerve  injury could be around the knee or down, the swelling could expected and also the discoloration is expected.
Talk to your doctor if you have nerve injury from the fracture? Or some thing else.

Question 5

ice cold painful stiff numb feet swelling, also in legs very sore. what tests do i need? could this be from reoccurring utis? what do i need to do?

Accepted Answer

Feet: Your symptoms can't be explained by a UTI. You need a good physical exam by your MD to determine the cause. You are too young to have poor circulation and alternative causes need go be looked for. Based on your exam and history further test can be done. Call and see your MD.

Question 6

what can help with leg/feet circulation? i often get numb and painful burning feet/swelling so i elevate them and use deep heat creams or icy cold

Accepted Answer

Need a diagnosis: It may not be circulation. It could be  neurologic  or erythromelagia. Please  see your physician and get the approriate evalaution

Question 7

2020 brain surgery right foot & calf mostly numb; occasionally feeling of swelling in foot followed by painful pounding pulsations move up my leg to my thigh, or hips or over to my belly & woo-hah or up as high as my breast. muscle test passed  ???

Accepted Answer

: Since your symptoms are only one sided, I have to conclude that the persistent numbness &amp; the other more bizarre symptoms are due to injury in the left cerebral cortex from the brain surgery. I'm unclear as to whether an EMG would document this. I'd have to defer to the neurologist's judgement &amp; opinion.

Question 8

can sunburn cause foot swelling?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A sunburn causes trauma to the skin and can cause swelling.

Question 9

how can i alleviate my foot swelling?

Accepted Answer

Depends why : You have it...I.E trauma, infection, venous insufficency, hypertenton, poor kidney function, side effect of medicine, too much salt intake etc...

Question 10

can athletes foot cause foot swelling?

Accepted Answer

No: It's very unsual for athlete's foot to cause swelling.
Highly unlikely.
I'm sure there's another cause of your foot swelling.
I recommend that you have it evaluated by a board certified podiatrist.
