Swelling And Redness On The Feet. Difficulty In Walking Due To Pain. Reddish Itchy Hives. Tried Steroid. Need A Remedy?

A week and 2 days ago I developed swelling & redness in both my feet to the point it was very painful to walk. I also had extreme swelling, redness & pain in my right thumb. I developed red, itchy hives all over my body. I was given a steroid shot 5 days ago, which calmed the symptoms but now it is all coming back. I'm very unsure on what to do. I currently do not have health insurance as I started a new job.
