Accepted Answer

Do easiest first.: There is a whole host of possible reasons why you are experiencing foot pain and swelling.

Does not: Sound like dvt, if you have no swelling.  It could be nerve pain, such as sciatica, or muscle pain, such as ruptured tendon.  It is not possible to tell on this site, so you should show it to a doctor to be sure.

Question 9

my daughters inner eye is swelling and it is quite tender. inside her inner eye it is red and she has a lump which is uncomftarble. what might this be?

Accepted Answer

Is it the eye, or: the eyelid? If it's the eyelid, it sounds like it could be a stye or chalazion. These are blocked glands in the eyelid. The treatment is ibuprofen or acetaminophen and warm compresses. If it is the eye, not the lid, please see her pediatrician or eye doctor. If it doesn't get better with the treatment  I mentioned, please have her examined.

Many possibilities: Foot pain could be as a result of many different things. A thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams are needed to determine the exact cause. Causes of pain may include: trauma (fracture, sprain, arthritis), infection, metabolic conditions (gout), musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormality and neurologic conditions (neuropathy).
