Question 4

my husband broke 8, 9, 10th rib in his back a week ago. now his feet and ankles are swollen. he said they feel picky.  why would they be swollen?

Accepted Answer

Emergency: His worries me a lot. Edema in the lower extremities usually means a heart problem. Broken ribs with a complication causing heart failure makes me want to send you to the er urgently. If he is comfortable, and able to speak in full sentences you may want to page the family doctor first. But please, if he appears ill or in any kind of stress get to the er!

Question 5

do you have glands on the bottom of feet? my husband has hard swollen lumps under his feet. he is unwell. could they be related?

Accepted Answer

Plantar fibroma: If what you are referring to is in the arch of the foot, it probably is a plantar fibroma. These growths usually occur in the mid-arch of the foot and can be first treated conservatively with accommodative insoles or orthotics to offload the weightbearing of the fibroma. When offloading does not reduce the weightbearing enough, the fibroma can be surgically removed.

Question 6

my husband who is 78 yrs old can't hardly walk he say his feet hurt so bad   they are swollen and he says it feels like he is walking on rocks ?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: If this swelling is new or suddenly worse, he should be seen urgently. If they are discolored, purple or black, then he needs to be seen at the emergency department. Please also be cautious about falls, as falls can be devastating in the elderly. People who have abnormal feeling in the feet can easily fall. Good luck.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Go get an xray: You need to make sure it isn't broken.  Delaying treatment could jeopardize healing.  If the fracture needs to be reset you want to know.  If there is any break in the skin, you want to prevent infection.  Stay off of it until you can have it checked.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Sunburn: There are various degrees of sunburn.  There can be significant inflammation, some swelling as well as the risk of infection.  He needs to see his PCP for further evaluation.

Question 9

my husband took 50 mg of benadryl (diphenhydramine) for a serious rash, 25 mg more 4 hours later.  his rash improved but feet are painful and swollen.   is possible od?

Accepted Answer

Not overdose: 50 mg of Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is a standard adult dose; taking 50 mg more six hours later would be appropriate, so 25 mg after 4 hours isn't usually a problem.  If the symptoms are progressing from rash to foot swelling, he should see a doctor.

ASAP: One sided swelling of any extremity, without a history of trauma, can be indicative of an underlying problem. (infection, vascular problem, lymphatic blockage, Thrombosis) You should see a Dr. A thorough history and exam can provide insight as to what the underlying cause could be and treatment.
