Question 1

what could cause foot swelling throbbing constantly and oain when any weight is put on it for awhile?

Accepted Answer

: I assume there has been no trauma as the cause.  If you can pinpoint the throbbing pain &amp; swelling to a joint,especially the big toe, acute arthritis caused by gout would be most likely. Other possibilities could be a stress fracture, cellulitis ( a bacteria skin infection) or other inflammatory joint conditions. You should be examined by a physician for xray,accurate diagnosis &amp; proper treatment.

Question 2

can sunburn cause foot swelling?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

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 4

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 5

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 6

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.

Question 7

what causes foot swelling?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Trauma such as broken bones, sprains, strains.  Problems with veins and lymphatic systems.  Systemic disorders such as high blood pressure, and heart failure.  Blood clots may cause swelling of one leg.

Question 8

could a knee bandage cause ankle and foot swelling?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if too tight: If you wrap your knee too tight which prevents the blood/lymph from returning from the foot/leg to your heart, yes you can have swelling.
If you remove the wrapping and the swelling gets better, you got your anwswer.
If the swelling is persistent and/or if you have pain in the leg, calf etc...Consult doc because you may have a blood clot etc...
Good luck..

Question 9

can you stop taking fluticasone without any problems? and would taking the spray cause swelling in foot?

Accepted Answer

Fluticasone: That should not cause foot swelling.  However, if after you discontinue it the swelling resolves then there is some weird relationship

Question 10

can a knee brace cause swelling in foot?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Swelling in the foot can be commonly seen after injuries. This can be from unrelated medical causes or generally due to poor circulation, inflammation at the injury site or constriction from a brace or cast. However, sometimes you can get a clot in your leg after an injury that can cause swelling in the injured or uninjured extremity, go to er to rule out a clot. This can be serious and even fatal.
