Question: My feet and ankles are swelling, my left foot more than the right one. The side of my foot I think by the diagram I used is called the cubnoid or the cuneiform I get a red oblong patch and a red patch in between the ankle and heel on my left foot only. Both feet have small brown circular dry like spots, some very tiny pimple like spots, and above the ankle the brown spots are a bigger mass that do not feel dry and look more like an old scar. The swelling started happening on and off about a month ago.

I am 53 years old. 5 feet 96 pounds and I guess my overall health is satisfactory. I am not very active I excercise and walk my dogs occassionally. I do not eat well. I forget to eat and if I make a meal for someone else later when I am wondering what I ate, I forget that it wasn't my meal and then think I ate.I sit alot and often fall asleep in my office chair (large high back). I wear flat shoes or tennis. I stopped wearing heels 5 or 6 years ago because my back, feet and legs hurt daily at the end of the day. Sometimes a painful throbbing up my whole leg and then sometimes a vibrating pain in my calf. Sometimes so painfully I could not sleep and my husband would massage until I fell asleep. My back still hurts after I have been standing in the kitchen cooking but the foot pain from heels mostly gone.
