What Causes Constant Pain And Swelling On The Right Foot?

I have constant pain over cuneiform navicular and cuboid for some time . It seems worse after exercise and at night . It affects my right foot only . It does swell and is very painful causing me to limp . I have not sustained any injury . It causes stiffness first thing in the morning getting better during the day . I have an active job and recently returned to the gym after a break of 6 months . It really makes no difference what I do as the pain is daily .

Hello Dear ,
I evaluated your query thoroughly .
@ It is related to muscle sprain / ligament stretching giving rise to cellulitis
@ Best recommendations for you :
# keep the right leg elevated over 3 pillows when resting .
# avoid excess weight bearing which will increase the swelling .
# refrain gym till full recovery .
# apply ice 4-5 times per day for duration of 10 minutes each time .
# avoid tight fitting shoes / sandals
# antibiotics +/- anti-inflammatory agents need have to be evaluated by
in person check up .
# OTC analgesic spray helps .
# keep a watch on redness of that part, increase in pain , swelling , fever,
more trouble in walking - immediately consult ER .
Hope this will definitely help you in fast recovery .
Thanks for using Health care magic .
Regards dear take care .
