Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

Your urine protein is high. That suggest that you have some protein loss in urine. Protein loss leads to low protein level in your blood. Hypoproteinemia is the common cause of swollen foot.

You should check your serum total protein and serum albumin level. If needed go for kidney biopsy to search the cause. Then take treatment accordingly.
Your hypothyroidism and blood pressure is OK so it is not related with swollen foot.

Hope I have answered your question.
If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you very good health.
