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.
My feet (particularly my left foot) has been swollen for awhile now; also painful to the touch. Ankles are swollen as well. What could be the cause?. I asked my Dr on my last visit, but he seemed unconcerned. This is getting worse, not better. Please advise.
Hi Welcome to healhcaremagic After going through your query I concluded that you are having swelling both feet and ankles. It's cause can be heart disease, kidney disease and liver disease. You should get your heart,kidney and liver function tests to be done. Till then you can keep your limbs elevated on pillow and you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
