Suggest Treatment For Painful Swelling In The Foot
Thanks very much, I have a pain on the bottom of my foot, it feels like there is a lump or swelling. Had it for two days, it gets better with ice but when I walk on it for a while it gets worse and eventually too painful for walking. I have had these before, I was wondering if it could be gout, as I m lactose intolerant?

hi you have a lump/ swelling on the bottom of your foot for two days and you had these before- recurrent swelling which gets worse on walking on it and pain is relieved by Ice.Gout generally effect the joint of big toe and not the bottom of foot. I think you might be having plantar fascitis. Take Pain killers for few days + Ice and soft heel footwear, if it does not help , then consult your doctor .
