Question 2

bad pains in left knee no injury hurts down to top of foot when i use stairs i noticed swelling and it feels like it slips out from under me?

Knee pain: Sounds like you need to be seen by an orthopedic specialist.  The fact that it slips out from under you suggests instability in the joint.

Podiatry: Podiatrists specialize in the anatomy and diseases of the foot. I would recommend that you get a referral to see one so that an appropriate evaluation may be made.

Question 4

random throbbing and aching pain on top of foot when walking  - sometimes last hours. top of foot painful if hit hard, no recent injury. thoughts?
