Suggest Treatment For Severe Foot Pain
I woke up with pain in my right foot yesterday which seems gotten worse today. It is on my right foot on the right side of toes and sole. I am 66 yr old male with no other maladies. It feels muscular. Tender to walk on with very slight swelling. Sore to squeeze.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
From your description , pain over your foot seems to be inflammatory in nature. It could be an acute attack of gout.
I advice you to give you rest to your foot, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
