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.
I have periodical severe foot pain (occurring around every 10-12 weeks.) It is on top of the foot toward the top of the instep. There is a slight reddening and very slight puffiness. I drink mainly only at weekends but am working away from home and just for the last two evenings have had 1.5 pints of real ale. (Not my normal chice.) Historically the pain goes as quick as it comes within 4-5 days. I am 57 years old, 1.90 metres tall and weigh around 101 kg.
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The periodic swelling and pain in the foot can be related to posture like flat foot or due to mild inflammation like arthritis in the area. This can be related to gout also. You need to get your serum uric acid levels evaluated. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal .
