Question 1

i have severe pain in my left foot on the left side outside of foot, veins swollen, sudden severe pain that happened for no apparent reason. even hurts when touched. no swelling.?

Accepted Answer

It is plausible : You have a clot in one of the veins in the foot. Because, the pain is severe and no trauma, i would visit a podiatrist.

Question 2

swelling and discolored hands and foot, veins that swell and shrink, redish/purple dots, yellow foamy urine, swollen lymphnoid, i do have hypothyroids?

Accepted Answer

Get an exam: With these multiple symptoms, you need a comprehensive exam and good blood work up. Don't delay. Good luck and feel better.

Question 3

how do i treat a stubbed toe and swollen foot? and how do i know if its fractured or not?

Accepted Answer

Examination: An xray of the toe and foot would be a good idea to determine whether the toe and/or a metatarsal bone has been fractured. I'm concerned that the foot is swollen. If the injury is only a fractured toe, treatment is only strapping it to the next toe. Swelling of the foot itself is not usual with only a fractured toe. Elevate your foot and apply cold compresses in the meantime.

Question 4

what's the cure for a swollen foot?

Accepted Answer

See below: Rest, elevation, possibly ice, possibly compression.  It is as if not more important to see a doctor to determine the cause of swelling.

Question 5

will a swollen foot always mean you have a blood clot?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not: Could have a fracture, could have gout, could have cellulitis, could have tendon tear, could have a number of things.....

Question 6

1 swollen  foot no injuries doctor prescribed water tablets but foot still swollen what should i do ?

Accepted Answer

One side: If you have swelling on just one side then it most likely is not a simple case of generalized water retention . Unilateral swelling has many potential causes. I would suggest contacting your primary care physician for a more thorough work-up.
Good luck.

Question 7

swollen foot with needles in toes. i stand for five hours and my right foot is swollen bad with needles in my toe. why?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Swelling in the foot or ankle can cause pressure on nerves which can result in a feeling of "needles" in the toes.  You should see a doctor to determine the cause of the swelling.

Question 8

what are causes for swollen foot/ankle, no discoloration (male, 53, frequent flier, desk job)?  what specialization should i see?

Accepted Answer

Possible phlebitis: A swollen foot/ankle in a frequent flier could be deep venous thrombophlebitis (dvt)/inflamed veins in your calf, especially if there is pain in your calf. You should call your primary care physician (pcp) immediately and if you don't have a pcp then go to urgent care. Dvt is associated with blood clots in the calf that can break off and go to the lung which is very dangerous condition.

Question 9

my 2 yr daughter has got swollen foot(ankle). this has happened earlier also and on the same foot. what could be the reason? i don't thinks its painful

Accepted Answer

Many Possibilites: Several things to consider- is she wearing tight shoes or socks. Has she been bitten by any insect? Is there any redness or do you feel any redness? Best course of action- have your daughter seen by her doctor- she will ask you these questions and more, also do a thorough exam. All the best.

Question 10

what do you recommend for swollen foot?

Accepted Answer

Diuretic: Raising the leg, compression stocking--need blood tests, possible ultrasound--see the doctor.
