What Causes Painful Knots In The Bottom Of Foot With Swelling In Ankles?

Pain when when I put weight on my feet, can feel painful knots running along bottom of both feet, bright red painful blotches on sides of both, both ankles very swollen. Under doctor s care, initial blood work good, additional blood work done to look into uric acid, arthritis, etc. While waiting to hear back from my doctor, I m reading info that might be my situation. Dr prescribed water pill to help with swelling but that has not made a difference. I did fall about 3-4 weeks ago, have no idea if I hurt anything, there was no immediate injury. About a week later start noticing pain when I put weight on feet, from there, swelling and everything I described above. Only mentioning fall - as I did to my dr - just because I don t want to overlook anything that could have contributed to the problem. Very painful and uncomfortable. Thanks girl feedback

Hi,

Painful knots is a feature of PANNICULITIS while swelling can be a feature of VENOUS INCOMPETENCE, HYPOPROTEINEMIA. Complete physical examination is required to rule out any systemic cause behind these.

Hope it helps. If you have any other question please do not hesitate to contact us.
