A member asked:

Unexplained pain and swelling in front of foot. also causing difficulties weight bearing on that foot. no obvious recent injury. just started suddenly today after resting with feet up.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pain, swelling: Apparently there is no known recent injury, but a stress fracture in the foot can still occur and cause pain and swelling of the foot. Another possibility is an acute arthritic swelling of a joint. Gout or other types of arthritis could be present. Consult a podiatrist for evaluation.Appropriate testing including an xray will be ordered. In the meantime elevate the foot and apply cold applications
