Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling and pain in feet. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like nerve compression , diabetes , neuropathy or multiple Sclerosis . Sometimes the symptoms you mention in query can also occur due to organ failure like kidney failure or heart failure. If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order blood test , urine test or RH factor , CT scan or MRI along with physical examination to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe methotrexate , anti inflammatory , gabapentintand recommend physical therapy . I would suggest you to lower your salt consumption , apply warm compresses on entire leg and take muscle relaxants like noval MR . Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist in case of cardiac problem or to nephrologist in case of kidney problem , who may prescribe diuretics .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
