There are really a lot of factors that cause swelling of the foot,Visit a podiatrist for evaluation of your relaying condition.
Hi there. The causes for foot swelling are blood clot, leg infection, venous insufficiency, varicose veins; burns include sunburn, insect bite or sting, starvation or malnutrition, surgery to leg or foot, blockade of lymph nodes in the legs or lymphatic obstruction. certain medications like hormones viz, estrogens, and testosterone, blood pressure medicines called calcium channel blockers etc. consult a surgeon for a detailed clinical evaluation and flow studies for blood flow in arteries, veins and lymphatics. Take care.
Hi Leann,
I too am experiencing swelling in my left foot. I have had several tests (e.g. MRI, sonogram, ultrsound) seen cardiovascular, podiatrist, allergist, internal specialists and no diagnosis. I am going to see a lymphatics specialist since it is a mild case of lymphodema. I wrote Dr. Oz but not received a response. This is very disturbing.
Good luck,
Joyce
top of foot swelling and painful 10 days ago no accident no injury to note. 5"1 250# diabetic what is going on?
I had a similiar problem many years ago when I was in the Army. My leg (left) swelled up from the knee down to my toes. I did not think much about it, I thought maybe I injred it somehow while out in the field, but years later I found that I had a disc problem in my lower back that was causing all of the problems in my leg. I do not know if your problem is the same but it might be something to look at.
