Suggest Treatment For Swollen Legs
Question: My feet/heels tend to get swelled up and hurt overnight. One day it would be fine, and the next morning I would wake up and it would be swollen, painful and extremely hard to walk on. Usually icing and Ibuprofen takes care of it after a couple days, but how does this happen? I do not run or do streneous activity on my feet, so that can't really be a factor.
Brief Answer:
Please, upload an image of your feet for review!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these swollen legs. It will be very important to review the nature of this swelling in order to provide helpful responses to you. This way, your response would be personalized and helpful. This is suggestive of plantar fasciitis but the swelling makes it atypical and this is why reviewing an image is capital to getting this right.

I hope to hear from you and promise to respond promptly. Until next, I wish you well.
