What Causes Swelling In Legs With Brown Spots?
Over the last six month I ve noticed swelling in my feet and some numbness as well. It comes and goes and i ve been too busy to make the time to see a doctor. About 3 days ago my left ankle started hurting, turned beat red and stung. That subsided the next day but my left ankle and foot swelled up and has stayed swollen since but no pain and still the numbness. Now this morning my right foot has begun to swell more almost matching my left and both feet have brown spots right on top. Not many but noticeable. Help!

Hi there.
You need to apply ice packs to the hot, swollen joints. You can also take Tablet Ibuprofen 200mg twice a day after a meal. You could be having Gout or Rheumatoid arthritis possibly.
Avoid chicken, meat, dried fish, smoking and alcohol as these can cause Gout flares. Consult an Orthopaedician as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and management.
