What Causes Swelling In Feet Along With Warm Sensation To Touch?

Last night out of nowhere my mothers feet became extremely swollen; she could not even see her toes. They also became very red and hot to the touch. As of today, they are pretty much back to normal. My mother has a stimulator in her back that was put within the past couple of years so I am wondering if this could possibly have something to do with this. Thank you, Shelly

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling in feet along with warm sensation to touch. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like gout , arthritis , muscle spasm , over weight , organ failure like kidney failure of heart failure or soft tissue injury . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like CT scan , MRI , blood test , urine test and physical examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory and recommend physical therapy . For now take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain , keep your leg elevated while sleeping ,and lower your salt consumption. Doctor may also refer you to nephrologist or podiatrist.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
