Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
For the past few weeks my left foot has been swollen on and off. Today its out of control and now I feel numbness going up my leg. Also my other foot is starting to swell. I thought it would be water retention so I ve bought over the counter water pills and that hasn t work.
As per your history it looks swelling of soft tissue which can be venous clot or systemic origin. If swelling is not reducing I will advise you to further investigate for the cause of swelling.
If symptoms persist then I will advise you to do MRI and Ultrasound of the swelling.
You may need blood investigation. Till time you can take anti-inflammatory and antibiotic if infection is suspected.
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.
