Suggest Remedies For Soreness And Swelling In The Foot And Ankle
YESTERDAY, MY RIGHT FOOT SUDDENLY BECAME VERY SORE ON THE BOTTOM MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO WALK. ADDITIONALLY, MY ANKLE AND FOOT SWELLED. THE SWELLING HAS OCCURRED BEFORE SO MY CARDIOLOGIST PRESCRIBED SOME WATER PILLS AND TOLD ME TO TAKE THEM AS NEEDED, WHICH IS INFREQUENTLY. IT HAS STAYED SORE, ALTHOUGH IT IS SLIGHTLY BETTER AFTER i TOOK A WATER PILL LAST NIGHT AND SLEPT WITH MY FOOT ON A PILLOW ALLOWING THE SWELLING TO RECEDE. IS GOUT A POSSIBILITY?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it may be some muscular condition and it may not be due to edema or gout and it can be managed accordingly unless it is being sent for some investigation for right diagnosis till then Tab Diclofenac 50 mg can be tried once in day, better to avoid taking diuretic medicine till right diagnosis made hope this information helps.
