Brief Answer:
Can you send and image of your foot for review?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pain that you have reported. The pain could be caused by an infection of the skin or joint, inflamed joints, etc. We would need to at least look at the nature of the skin around the hurting area for signs of infection and inflammation in order to make a personalized and helpful response to you. In this light, I kindly request that you upload an image for review.

In the interim, cold compress and Tylenol should be continued. If there are any other symptoms such as fever, report to me. Besides, have you ever had gout before or have you ever experienced a similar pain in the past?

To upload an image, simply click on the link to upload a file and follow the instructions. If this proves difficult, please send the image by mail to YYYY@YYYY and request that the image should be uploaded to your query.

I do promise to get back to you with more insights and helpful recommendations as soon as the requested information gets here.
Note: For further queries, consult a joint and bone specialist, an Orthopaedic surgeon. Book a Call now.
