What Causes Constant Pain In Foot, Big Toe, Heel And Ankle?
I have constant pain in my left foot. Strangely the pain shifts every day; sometimes on the outside edge, then at the base of the big toe, then above the heel, then on the outside ankle, then the inside ankle etc. Also, every morning when I awake, my feet are the same size however after arising, my left foot swells throughout the day. This repeats every day. This condition happened after one of my chronic gout attacks. Any ideas?

Hello
I have studied your case,
suggest sequelae of chronic gouty arthritis with possible osteomyelitis..
In gout there is accumulation of uric acid crystals in joint mainly foot. This leads to swelling and redness in foot.
I will advise to do blood inv like complete blood count ,uric acid level, and foot scan.
Till time take analgesic and neurotropic like methylcobalamin.
for gout you may need medicine accordingly and diet restriction.
