Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swollen and painful foot . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like peripheral neuropathy , hypertension , gout , kidney disease , DVT or venous insufficiency . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan or x-ray along with blood test and urine test . Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist for cardiac problem or nephrologist for kidney problem , who may prescribe diuretic along with betablockers .For now keep your foot in hot water tub with Epsom salt for 15 minutes daily and keep your legs elevated while lying down . Doctor may also refer you to endocrinologist for diabetic foot.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
