Question 6

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.

Question 7

foot swelling and pain for no apparent reason?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: We can even twist our foot in bed or even unknowingly . Also varicose veins can cause it if you have deep ones, but you would usually have smaller ones on the surface. If both sides were swelling the causes would be more in number but much more limited since one sided.. Apply ice or heat and try Ibuprofen or aleve, (naproxen) limit salt and elevate the leg. An ace wrap might help too.

Question 8

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

Accepted Answer

It would depend: On what caused the swelling.....Injury? Varicose veins? A clot in your leg? 
All three for example should be treated differently...

Question 9

left foot swelling .no injury?what can cause this?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: If it is just one leg and you are having pain, please go to the ER to be seen as soon as possible.

Question 10

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.
