I have a swelled foot only painful sometimes. has lasted since early june. was treated for gout had blood tests and it is not gout. what could this be?

Swelling could: be caused by local inflammation such as arthritis. But it could also be caused by lymphatic or venous obstruction, such as deep venous thrombophlebitis. Show your foot to your doctor to make sure your condition is not a potentially life threatening one.
