Answer 1

May be impact: You may have been hit there and not noticed it at the time--in which case it should improve in a few days to week, quicker with cold compresses to area periodically and advil (ibuprofen) or other NSAID for pain relief. If persists beyond a week, see your dr for exam.

Answer 2

Tendinitis?: It could be a tendon problem, tendinitis, degeneration, or even a rupture - see a doctor.

Answer 3

More info: There are many causes of abdo pain. When do you get pain? What type? How long does it last? Anything make it better? Anything make it worse? Does food affect the pain?

Answer 7

Many reasons: What stops it depends on what caused it. And lastly, that would depend on the above prior answers.

Answer 8

Insect bites: It could be any insect bite. See the doctor if it does not clear up in few days. If it is itchy you can try Hydrocortisone cream and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) by mouth.

Answer 9

Trauma or Allergies: It could be an allergic reaction or signs of trauma (small bruises.) see your md to be safe.

Answer 10

Have it looked at: If it is only on one foot then there is a chance he could have a blood clot in that leg and should be looked at today. Swelling in one foot and numbness that came on all of a sudden shouldnt wait. Good luck.

Answer 11

Why chance it?: Get it checked out now. Diabetes with buldging veins and puffiness/swelling can be representative of several serious conditions: especially a clot(phebitis) or infection.

Answer 12

Numbness in : A diabetic is common. Bulging veins normally is not acute. The concern for an er situation would be a clot in the calf. Usually, this would be painful or very tender but if he is numb may not be able to tell you that. If there is redness or inflammation/swelling to a calf region then it is prudent to go to the er.

Answer 13

Many possibilities: Numbness can occur from various reasons. Some potential causes include vitamin deficiency, nerve damage, nerve compression, and alcohol over consumption, side effects of different medications, or as a result of different systemic medical conditions such as diabetes. Get evaluated by a professional to determine the diagnosis. Treatment is based on the diagnosis.
