Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Foot And Ankle
What is the matter with my right foot and ankle? My entire foot is swollen and aching- sometimes it feels like it is burning . It hurts to touch parts of my right foot and ankle . Prior to this I was experiencing almost no feeling in either foot. i have had both x-rays and a bone scan done - no diagnosis available. Any ideas ??

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that it might be nerve compression in the foot. I would recommend you to get MRI of the spine to see if there is nerve compression is present in the spine due to disc herniation.
I would recommend you following.
1.Tablet Pregabalin M one daily.
2.Avoid forward bending and weight lifting.
3.Elastocrape bandage is also good for swelling.
I hope this answer will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
