Inflammation of tendons and joint.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to Health Care Magic, I am Dr Muhammd Ahmad, I have closely read your question and I understand your concerns, I will hereby guide you regarding your health related problem.
This doesn't seem to be edema due to heart or blood pressure which would settle with salt restriction, plus edema due to heart doesn't cause tendon of foot pain. You seem to be having foot inflammation.
Here is what I would advise you to do.
1) Give your foot good rest.
2) Keep it elevated when ever you can.
3) Rub ibuprofen or Voren topical over it.
4) Wrap crepe bandage.
5) Keep taking ibuprofen.
6) Ideally you should get your Uric acid levels checked.
7) Read about foods which raise uric acid in body and avoid them if you dont get the levels done.
8) With good rest and care this should get better on 4..5 days if it doesn't then I would advise you to visit your doctor to get a complete checkup and investigations if your doctor deems necessary.
I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask,otherwise close the discussion and rate it.
Regards.
Dr.Muhammad Ahmad.
