A member asked:

What would cause my left foot to swell randomly?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Swelling : You may have a stress fracture , gout or tendonitis there are many things that can cause swelling this is just a short list of common things we see. I would see a podiatrist for an exam and a x-ray.
