A member asked:
I have sciatic nerve pain in my foot. i noticed my foot is slightly swollen. is this from the nerve or from me accidentally falling into refrigerator?

Swollen foot: Most likely due to the refrigerator. Apply cold compresses for 20 minutes several times a day to reduce the swelling.

Sciatica: Sciatica usually does not cause foot swelling. That is likely from the trauma.
