Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

Foot and leg swelling suggest internal disease process.
You need to consult your doctor before any other complication arises.
Due to compression of this nerve root there is pain in your foot.

Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Ultrasonography leg will help to rule out other pathology leading to pain like deep vein thrombosis.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
